Alexa's Prime Day deals revealed

Amazon's voice activated digital assistant Alexa appears to know more about Prime Day than she's letting on. All she'll do at this point is recite a cryptic poem pointing to a possible deal on July 8, 2016. The Tap is similar to Echo, but requires you to press a button to speak to Alexa. SAN FRANCISCO -- The meaning behind a cryptic poem recited by Amazon's voice-command digital assistant Alexa on Wednesday became clear Friday with the announcement that Amazon customers who order by voice will get exclusive deals during the online retailer's Prime Day sale. Alexa users will receive a 10 discount on their first Amazon order using Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, or Amazon Tap, July 8 through July 12. Amazon created the shopping holiday for its Prime customers last year as a sort of Christmas in July event to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
