What They Say
Bloomberg’s Power On newsletter, written by Mark Gurman, suggested that Amazon is working on a new Echo device, code-named Hoya, that is designed to be put on a wall and has a 15″ display.
The device is expected to be able to run apps for streaming, such as Netflix. The paper said that the firm is looking to boost the share of devices with displays as it has found that customers engage more with display-equipped devices.
The firm is also said to be working on a new device for use in vehicles that pairs with a smartphone and let you access Alexa through the car’s speakers. (It recently launched a relationship with Ford to integrate Alexa).
What We Think
Amazon has 25% discount deals on its Echo Show 5 and 8 at the moment, that make them very good value. That might be to clear the way for new devices. (BR)
