Amazon has been updating its Echo line of voice-enabled speakers regularly since their introduction in November 2014. Now, according to Bloomberg, the company is developing a new voice-activated speaker with a 7″ touchscreen which tilts up for easy viewing of recipes, weather forecasts, calendars , news and so on. It would act like a home-based digital sign. It is rumoured to be expected in Q1 2017 and could be Amazon’s way of differentiating itself from the competition.
