 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 pair it 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 in 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 $89.99. 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 the new Amazon Echo Tap speaker, so be sure to check that out on YouTube and also subscribe to our YouTube channel.
 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 pair it 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 in
 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 $89.99.
 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 the new Amazon Echo Tap speaker, so be sure to check that
