Tuesday Tech Wrap: Amazon, Uber, Facebook

Amazon is reportedly planning to release a new version of its smart speaker Echo on Tuesday that includes a screen for making video calls. The original Echo is a digital assistant that can play spoken song requests, answer questions about a sports score, report the weather or read the news. Amazon is expected to announce a new Echo smart home speaker on Tuesday. The big difference: it'll come with a screen that allows users to make video calls, The Wall Street Journal reports. The 7-inch touch screen will also display answers to spoken questions with Google-like search results, the Journal adds.
