Amazon's early Black Friday device deals celebrate Alexa's birthday

Not to be left behind by Walmart, Target, and Best Buy kicking off early Black Friday sales, Amazon has today taken the wraps off a whole bunch of deals on its first-party hardware.

The early Black Friday deals on Echo devices, Fire TV, Kindle, Ring devices, and more bring these Amazon products down to record low prices for a limited time in order to celebrate Alexa's birthday which apparently falls on November 6 (if a disembodied virtual assistant can have a birthday, that is). Existential questions said, the deals actually bring back some of Prime Day's best deals without the need to be a Prime member this time as well as some new offers on products like Fire TV Sticks that were sorely missed a couple of weeks back.

Amazon Black Friday plans

Though we've only just had Amazon's huge Prime Day event, we're already looking ahead to Black Friday — and so is Amazon!

Though Black Friday itself isn't until November 27, Amazon has already kicked off the savings with its Holiday Dash promotion. Hot on the heels of Prime Day, the Holiday Dash event promises to offer "Black Friday-worthy" deals with fresh deals dropping every day.

The rotating selection of daily deals will feature some big-name brands and popular product categories as we continue to move closer to Black Friday itself. Though it doesn't have a brick-and-mortar strategy to worry about, Amazon's Black Friday plans are similar in spirit to those already outlined by other retailers where the deals are starting much earlier this year than normal, offering shoppers a chance to tick off everyone on their holiday gift list without going into a store.

Keep up to date with Black Friday deals

Are you ready to conquer Black Friday and Cyber Monday yet? If not, don't worry. We're helping you out every step of the way. Be sure to keep an eye on Android Central and Thrifter during the next few weeks for the latest news on the year's biggest shopping sale as it becomes available.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
