Amazon to unveil new hardware at Seattle event

The company has invited press to its Seattle headquarters for a secretive hardware event, which starts at 1 p.m. ET. It could unveil eight new Echo devices, a device for the car and even a microwave, according to a CNBC report. More Echos make sense for the company. The reign of Alexa is only beginning for Amazon. It wants the chipper voice assistant to be available in more places, including cars and the kitchen.
