Alexa, you might know, is the female persona inhabiting the Echo, a Wi-Fi-enabled black cylinder about the size of a Pringles can, which you prime to answer your questions or perform services by invoking her name. âAlexa â¦ whatâs the weather,â etc. etc. I was given a $179 Echo last year as a gift, and a $49 Echo Dot â a squashed down version endowed with a lousier speaker but equipped with Bluetooth capability â as another gift for Fatherâs Day.
Alexa gets new siblings: the Amazon Echo Dot and Tap. Amazonâs Echo was an unlikely hit in todayâs increasingly mobile world. Iâve got one, and Iâm always amazed how the Echo can set an alarm, tell you the weather, and play news podcasts, audio books, and music, including volume adjustments, all under voice control.
