Fire TV - 4k HDR upgrade for $70. It does have an Alexa remote but this isn't the Fire TV meets Echo Dot meets Harmony Hub device that has also been rumored.
Echo Spot - a small alarm clock version of the Echo Show.
Echo Plus - Like the original Echo speaker but is designed to be a smart home hub with lots of easy set up and even comes with a Hue light bulb. You don't need to install apps or skills to set up many common smart home devices. It sounds like Alexa has also been upgraded as part of this.
quote:
Alexa can now add multiple events to a routine that you activate with one command. For instance, saying, “Alexa, good morning” can turn on the lights, open a smart window shade, get the weather, or command a teakettle to boil water in one fluid motion.
Echo A new, smaller echo speaker for $99 that can do multi room audio (3 pack is $250)
There were actually even more devices than that. The Verge has coverage of it and more pictures. LINK

Fire TV is a very good price point and supports Dolby Atmos. I stop using one as they push their Prime too hard but always was a solid device now made better. Don't think it has optical.

CAD is going to be so fricking stoked.

Nothing makes me happier than new amazon stuff.
The FireTV and the Echo are total steals.
When they eventually decide to take on Apple again and come out with a new cell phone, I'll make the switch.

Spot looks pretty cool. They're not getting $130 from me for that shite, though.

I'll be keeping my current gen Fire TV. The need for a hanging ethernet adapter and the hdmi plug-in design are huge turnoffs, not worth the added HDR support.

Guess I'll wait for the next Fire TV. Adapter for Ethernet and the box just hangs from the hdmi port? What the frick.

Just got Alexa as a gift and set her up. Can I ask her to play individual songs and is there a cost for this?
