Next version of Alexa leaked?

Will this be the tablet style dashboard we have all been cooking up on our own (i.e. Smart Tiles)?

I.think.its bull. You won’t have the same functionality in that shape device. There is axreasin Alexa is round the mics … and you also will not get a decent speaker in a tablet.

I suspect it works WITH the speaker/microphone. A tablet specifically designed as an Echo companion.

Could be designing a wall mountable Alexa. Probably lose fidelity in the speaker, but for mics would probably work well in most room situations, maybe even better. I get “echos” from the wall behind it, even when its out over a foot.

Trilby is a third-party device that includes the Alexa service and is already available. It’s in a sort of Etch-a-Sketch shape and has magnets so you can put it on the refrigerator. It’s not a full tablet kind of screen, but it is one example of how different form factors may work for specific use cases.
