Unlike with the Echo, which awakens to answer your questions when you simply say "Alexa," users will need to press on a Fire tablet's home button to address the voice assistant. Alexa could be used on these tablets to operate smart-home objects -- much as it can on the Echo -- but it will have new features targeted more toward the ways people use tablets. "From a tablet perspective, we suspect it's more around entertainment," Kevin Keith, general manager for Fire Tablets, said in an interview. For instance, Alexa could be used to open apps and games. Also, in several cases Alexa will augment voice responses with visual cards, such as album art when asked to play music on Pandora and the weekly forecast when asked about the weather.
Since Alexa may be used in different ways on the Echo speaker and Fire tablets, Keith said he didn't expect lower-priced tablets will eat into Echo sales, saying one experience is hands-free and from a distance, and the other is hands-on and nearby, "I see them being complementary, not cannibalistic," he olixar xtrio full cover iphone 8 case - rose gold reviews said, The Fire tablets are the latest destinations for Amazon's digital assistant, When Amazon's done, it may very well have shoehorned its digital assistant Alexa into your sink, your sofa and your walls, For now, Amazon will settle for connecting Alexa to as many electronic and Wi-Fi-enabled objects as it can..

Pornhub reports that many Apple users put all activities -- yes, all of them -- on hold to watch some new gadget porn instead. Watching Apple's highly anticipated iPhone 7 event on Wednesday meant thousands of people weren't spending that time watching other things -- and Pornhub has the data to prove it. It turns out new smartphones are sexy enough to compete with online porn, as the site reports it saw a 9.5 percent drop in global traffic from iOS users during Apple's live show, which had to be streamed primarily from Apple devices.
