If simply talking to Alexa on your Amazon Echo just wasn't doing it for you, soon you could talk to—and see—your friends or family through the e-commerce company's upcoming screen-equipped Echo Show.
Amazon unveiled the Echo Show, the latest in its line up of connected-devices in the Echo family, on Tuesday with the device officially set to be released on June 28.
As with the original Echo, the $229.99 Show—currently available for pre-order—is always on and always connected to the Internet, but the voice directions continue to only work when the "wake" word "Alexa" is spoken.
While Show has many of the same functions as the traditional Echo speaker, it looks significantly different and comes with added features.
