The smart speaker revolution continues and it is as strong as ever. Today, for example, Amazon officially launched the Echo Sport. This is a smart speaker that looks like a small alarm clock. It features the tools of the trade which means it is equipped with a speaker and virtual personal assistant Alexa. It also is the second Echo product to feature a screen. The Echo Spot comes with a 2.5-inch display.

Sure, the Echo Spot will actually wake you with an alarm, just like the alarm clock it looks like. But it will also control your smart appliances, stream music, make a phone call, set a timer, request a ride from Uber, order a pizza from Domino's and much more.
While the Echo Spot was released today, the device was actually sold out around the Thanksgiving Day Holiday. Amazon is expected to have inventory of the black Echo Spot on December 28th. The white version of the device will be back in stock on January 5th, 2018. In other words, unless you ordered the Amazon Echo Spot last month, you won't be putting it under anyone's tree this Christmas.
