Inside Amazon’s Echo hardware event
Amazon held a small press event in New York City to showcase its latest Echo hardware, representing part of a broader strategy to distribute major product announcements across October rather than concentrate them in a single fall showcase. Panos Panay, senior VP of devices and Alexa at Amazon, explained the company's rationale. Beyond Echo devices, Amazon has already announced Fire TV units, new Kindles, the Alexa Tablet Pro 12, Ring smart lock, AI-wearable startup Bee hardware, and Blink 4K cameras this month.
