Amazon Echo Pops Slice Smart Speakers in Half
When the first Amazon Echo device launched in 2014, it created a new category: The smart speaker. The Echo speakers brought the voice assistant to the home and created the perfect controller for the early "smart home." Unfortunately, almost 10 years later, voice recognition still has a long way to go, the multi-language promise is still unrealized, and Echo speakers are already everywhere - in the countries where Amazon sells them. The company even announces new models with a blog post.
