hey guys it's Lauren good with the verge and today we're at Amazon's UX labs in San Francisco taking a look at two new devices in the echo family this is the new echo dot it works in some ways similarly to the big echo now you can use the dot as a speaker but you're probably not going to want to use it as a speaker because it's not that powerful what you're really supposed to do with this thing is either parrot via bluetooth or connect it you can see the line out here to a better speaker and then have all the capabilities of the echo through that speaker so just like you can say to the regular echo you could say to the dot Alexa call me an uber or Alexa what were the results of Super Tuesday and you would get a response but it would actually happen through your bigger better speaker the dot goes on sale today and it costs eighty nine ninety nine there is no deal for prime users however amazon has put a twist into the ordering process right now you can only order one of these through an existing Alexa device so you either have to say to your Amazon TV Alexa order me a dot or through the existing echo speaker in order to get it right now that's not forever Amazon says eventually it will open orders up to everybody so there it is the new Amazon echo dot we also have a hands-on with a new Amazon echo tap speaker so be sure to check that out on YouTube and also subscribe to our YouTube channel
