Amazon Echo expands to two new Alexa-enabled products

However, for customers who do not possess either the Echo or the new Fire TV edition but are interested in placing preorders for the new Amazon Echo Dot "smart" speaker, a loophole in the preordering process has been discovered by Localytics product manager Dwight Churchill.

Amazon has been a company which has been making quite the news this year.

Say "Alexa, order an Echo Dot", and Alexa will use the default payment method and shipping address saved in your 1-Click settings.

Once Alexa finds the Echo Dot, either confirm or cancel your order. The Echo Dot is now only available in the U.S. "Alexa will even listen if you have a Vivint home automation system".

The Dot is now $89.99, but we can't be sure that price will hold. If I wanted an Amazon Tap, I would only have to wait to the end of the month-and pay $130. It was available to Prime members only, through an invitation-only buying scheme, for a reduced cost.
