 Hey guys, it's Casey with The Verge. I'm here at Amazon headquarters in Seattle where they just introduced a ton of new hardware. And our favorite thing that showed up today might be this. This is the Echo Spot. Imagine if the Echo Show and an Echo Dot had a baby. It might look like this. A tiny alarm clock with a two and a half inch screen that is Alexa enabled. What does that mean? Well, it can do something that a lot of Alexa enabled devices can do, which is control your smart home. It can also play music. It also has a front facing camera. That means you can use it to make free video calls. And by the way, starting today, you can now use Alexa to make free video calls to anywhere in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. But this device is part of Amazon's strategy to bring Alexa absolutely everywhere. This thing is gonna go on sale today for pre-order, and then we'll start shipping in December, and it will cost you $130. Amazon thinks that people are gonna get a number of these for their homes, maybe put one on your desk, one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom. That's certainly where I plan on putting mine. It's part of their strategy of bringing Alexa absolutely everywhere. And so while Amazon showed off a ton of things today, this one, well, it might just be the one we think is the most interesting. I'm trying to do a blooper, Farhad. It's so hard for you. It's so hard for me to screw up. Make sure your blooper doesn't fall off the drop. It's not gonna drop. I'm not dropping it. Okay, great.
 Hey guys, it's Casey with The Verge.
 I'm here at Amazon headquarters in Seattle
 where they just introduced a ton of new hardware.
 And our favorite thing that showed up today might be this.
 This is the Echo Spot.
 Imagine if the Echo Show and an Echo Dot had a baby.
 It might look like this.
 A tiny alarm clock with a two and a half inch screen
 that is Alexa enabled.
 What does that mean?
 Well, it can do something that a lot
 of Alexa enabled devices can do,
 which is control your smart home.
 It can also play music.
 It also has a front facing camera.
 That means you can use it to make free video calls.
 And by the way, starting today,
 you can now use Alexa to make free video calls
 to anywhere in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
 But this device is part of Amazon's strategy
 to bring Alexa absolutely everywhere.
 This thing is gonna go on sale today for pre-order,
 and then we'll start shipping in December,
 and it will cost you $130.
 Amazon thinks that people are gonna get a number of these
 for their homes, maybe put one on your desk,
 one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom.
 That's certainly where I plan on putting mine.
 It's part of their strategy of bringing Alexa
 absolutely everywhere.
 And so while Amazon showed off a ton of things today,
 this one, well, it might just be the one
 we think is the most interesting.
 I'm trying to do a blooper, Farhad.
 It's so hard for you.
 It's so hard for me to screw up.
 Make sure your blooper doesn't fall off the drop.
 It's not gonna drop.
 I'm not dropping it.
 Okay, great.
