Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1300

Hey, hey. Teri here with your flash briefing for Friday. And I’ve got some news for you. Some new Alexa devices have literally just been announced.

In fact, they were announced yesterday. And what are these? They are Amazon-built smart TVs built from the ground up using Alexa as the main mode of interface.

They are called the Fire TV Omni series as well as the Fire TV 4 series. And at the same time, Amazon has also upgraded their Fire TV stick to the new model, which is called the Fire TV Stick 4K Max.

Now, I will be speaking a little bit more about each of these devices in the upcoming flash briefings.

But today, I just wanted you to be aware of this and read you a quote from Daniel Roche who is the Vice President for Amazon Entertainment Devices and Services. And this is what he says.

Our new Fire TV on the series smart TVs with hands-free access to Alexa make controlling your TV faster, simpler, and more natural.”
