Does anybody know anything about the Amazon Echo TSV coming up 12/6? There was just one on November 20th.  Is there a newer version coming out or something.  I am not all that familiar with the devices, but want to make sure I have the most current.  I bought two on 11/20.  Or I am wondering if they are just trying to get rid of one left from that TSV.

Hmmm, that's interesting. maybe since it was such a big hit they managed to get more and do it again. I doubt this is a newer version, but if it is, or a better deal, we have until the end of January to return the other one.

There are rumors that Amazon is working on an Echo with a 7" screen and upgraded speaker to be announced sometime in the first quarter of 2017.  Any Echo/Dot/Tap being offered now would be the same as the November offering.  They may add something to the configuration but the Echo itself will be the same.

If in fact Amazon offers an upgraded Echo I suspect they will first offer it to Prime members in a similar manner as the original Echo was introduced.  By the time it was released to the general public Alexa's capabilities were already being expanded due to input from early purchasers and any bugs were pretty much worked out.

The TSV on 12/6 is going to be the Amazon Dot.

The TSV will be the Dots. I have two Dots, in the living room & my bedroom, instead of the large Echo as I did not want to have to yell across the house to one device. I synced them to my Bose Bluetooth speaker & it is amazing. From falling asleep to relaxation music to waking up to the morning news headlines & how traffic is for my commute to work, this is a true virtual assistant that I wouldn't want to be without. I got mine on sale at BBB for $39.95, which is a lot less money than the full size Echo.
