Amazon's Alexa coming to India and Japan later this year

Amazon unveiled their new Echo speaker to compete for consumers' money and mindshare. SAN FRANCISCO -- Amazon's digital assistant Alexa is heading to India and it will get to Japan later in the year. But while it might pick up a slight accent on arrival, so far it's sticking to English to get around. Amazon announced Wednesday that it's opening up its Alexa Skills Kit (cleverly called ASK) for customers in India. It will also begin selling three Alexa-enabled devices in India: the Amazon Echo, Echo Plus and Echo Dot.
