Amazon has announced two new voice-controlled home assistant devices. These are $130 Amazon Tap Bluetooth speaker and $90 Echo Dot. They have been designed to amplify the role that Alexa plays in our homes and lives.

Amazon Tap

The Amazon Tap looks like a Bluetooth speaker and comes with built-in smarts. This portable, rechargeable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speaker uses the voice assistant Alexa to control the music, get weather reports, news and lots more.

Unlike standard Echo, the Tap is not always listening for commands and you have to physically tap it. It enables Alexa fans to take the cloud-based voice command service and allows you to play music from iTunes or Prime, order Uber and more anywhere you want. Just connect to a Wi-Fi or mobile hotspot and it starts working.

Amazon Tap can be connected and controlled using the Alexa app. It is also capable of streaming music from a phone or tablet connected via Bluetooth and plays it back through its speakers. According to Amazon, it offers nine hours of play time or up to three weeks of standby time.
