Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #817
Hello, hello, it’s Teri Fisher here with your flash briefing for Friday and today I want to talk about the new Fire tablets.
You may know that Amazon has had tablets for a while known as the Fire tablets, and they’ve got different sizes.
There has been some confusion as to whether or not Alexa was enabled on those, and this stems from the fact that, Alexa is on these tablets in the United States, but they are not currently on the tablets in Canada.
Now, just recently, Amazon has announced new tablets and actually received a question from Sean, Sean B, and he was searching for information about it to find if Alexa is now in the new tablets that have just been released.
And I did a little bit of searching around and from what I can tell, unfortunately it is not, the new Fire tablets do not have Alexa builtin.
And in fact, if you go to the page with those tablets and you scroll down to the bottom where you can see all the specifications of the tablets, you’ll see very clearly in there that unfortunately it says that Alexa is not available in Canada.
Alexa is on these tablets in the United States.
So cause it’s interesting, these tablets could be a substitute for an Echo Show because they both have displays, only the tablet can do a lot more if you’re carrying it around with you and so on.
So you know, it would make a lot of sense for Alexa to be built into that, but it’s not right now, so I just wanted to clarify that for you.
Hopefully that helps you in terms of your buying decision there, Sean.
Now I also want to give a quick shout out to someone else that left a review for the flash briefing and this is Dennis.
And Dennis, thank you so much for this, he gave it five stars and wrote,” You’re good. I do look forward to your daily update. You have good info that I use. I also try to share some of your tips.”
Well, that’s fantastic, Dennis, thank you so much for that review and thank you for sharing it too, I really appreciate that.
That’s probably the biggest compliment anybody can give, is to share the information that I put out.
So I thank you, Dennis it’s at least I can do, of course, is just to give you that shout out for the effort you put into doing that.
Anybody else would like to leave a review it, of course, I appreciate every single one of them.

Thank you very much and I will talk to you again tomorrow.
Have a great day.
