Time for a new Echo with this sale on Amazon's latest smart devices

Amazon introduced the 4th-generation Echo devices last year and then immediately put them on sale for the holidays. You might have missed those deals, but luckily for you Echo devices never stay at those larger retail prices for long. Today you can save on basically every new 4th-gen Echo device. Grab the newest Echo Dot on sale for $15 off, get the version for kids at $20 off, or get the Echo Dot with a digital clock down to $44.99 from $60. While some of these prices aren't as low as last year's Black Friday sales, they are the best prices we've seen this year.

There are other ways to save on Echo devices right now. The all-new Echo is Amazon's premium speaker for both smart functions and sound, and it's also on sale for $79.99 from its regular price of $100. If you want to save even more money or you just don't like the design of the newer Echo Dot, you can even get the 3rd-gen Echo Dot on sale for $29.99, which is $10 off what it's been going for the last couple months.

Last, but certainly not least, you can save on the Echo Show 5, getting it for $49.99, which is just $5 above the best price we've ever seen for it. The Echo Show 8 is down to $74.99, which is $10 above its lowest ever.

Amazon's new 4th-gen Echo Dot has made some vast improvements over the previous generation. It obviously has a very different form factor, but the ball-like speaker still has a flat bottom so it can sit easily wherever you need it. Put it on your desk, a shelf, or anywhere else you want easy voice access to Amazon Alexa. Control your smart home, play music, get your questions answered, and even play games simply by talking to Alexa. You can stream from all your favorite services, too, including Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, and more.

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
