Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) has rolled out with a new bundle for its Echo Dot device. The online retailer’s foray in to smart-speakers’ space with the launch of the Amazon Echo has helped it diversify its line of speakers and further bolster the trend of controlling smart-home appliances and third-party services with voice-commands.
The Echo Dot’s roll out occurred in parallel with the debut of Amazon’s other smart-speaker, Amazon Tap. Both the devices have been inspired by the company’s Echo speaker, which launched in 2014 and enabled users to perform a range of activities with the help of its virtual assistant, Alexa.
Now, Alexa’s popularity has proven to be a vital asset for Amazon’s growth in the competitive market of smart-devices. Whilst the Tap device is relatively smaller in size than the Echo, the company has made sure to integrate complex tasks within the hand-sized speaker to ensure that users can make the best of it while on the go.
Such measures have helped Amazon create a whole new “pillar” for its services. With the ability to control smart-thermostats, lights, smart-locks, and more, the concept of smart-homes is on the rise with more tech giants such as Google working on its own platform; Google Home.
With threats rising, it is evident that Amazon aims to ramp up on the existing capabilities of its speakers. Therefore, USA Today reports that the retail giant has once again rolled out with a deal for its Dot speaker, which allows users to purchase Alexa with a Bose speaker package.
These potential deals include:
Amazon Echo Dot (2nd Gen.) Black ($49.99)
Amazon Echo Dot (2nd Gen.) White ($49.99)
Echo Dot (2nd Gen.) + Bose SoundLink Mini II, Carbon ($213.99, SAVE $15)
