Amazon “working on a smaller version of Echo speaker”January 13, 2016 - 15:29 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Amazon is working on a smaller, more refined version of Echo speaker, the AI-powered audio device that measures in around the size of a beer can, Digital Spy reports citing the Wall Street Journal. The smaller Echo will be around half the size of the current model and reportedly cost less than its $180 price tag. Added portability isn't the only bonus feature, as the new speaker sits on a charger dock when not in use, eliminating the need for a mains connection. To save battery life, the smaller Echo uses a push-to-talk button to activate Amazon's Siri rival Alexa, instead of being creepy and always listening. Amazon is yet to officially announce the scaled-down Echo. Top stories Yerevan will host the 2024 edition of the World Congress On Information Technology (WCIT).
