Amazon Wants You To Turn Your Fire Tablet Into a Portable Echo (cnbc.com)

Posted by msmash on from the how-about-that dept.

Amazon on Thursday introduced software and accessories that will turn its Fire HD tablets into a portable Echo. From a report: The company on Thursday unveiled a new case and stand for the Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 tablet so those devices will act almost just like the Amazon Echo Show, a larger gadget that has a touch display. You can call up recipes in the kitchen, see song lyrics for music that you're playing, place video calls to friends, start movies and more, all without touching the tablet and with a visual interface that was previously available only on the Echo Show and Echo Spot.

    Seriously, stop it. I don't want or need my electronics to be constantly listening to what I'm saying.

    What are you plotting?
