Amazon Just Launched the First Echo With a Screen

TIME - Tech

Amazon on Tuesday launched a new version of its popular Echo smart speaker with a display screen and better advertised sound quality. The Echo Show, as it's called, will begin shipping on June 28 for $230. The Echo Show's screen allows users to watch YouTube videos, display photos, make video calls and more, according to Amazon's page for the device. The Show is about $80 more expensive than the standard Echo, which doesn't have a screen. The idea for a smart digital display isn't new: The Chumby attempted to perform similar functions nearly a decade ago, but ultimately the technology wasn't quite there yet.
