It didn't take long for Amazon to get bolder with its screen-sporting Echo devices.
The Stella Actor | Adult Movies Onlinecompany's new 2.5-inch touchscreen Echo Spot, $129.99, follows the boxy, 7-inch-screen Echo Show by just a few months. It's a much more attractive, smaller and, maybe more approachable, nightstand-friendly version of that device.
Where the Show is all edges and angles, the Spot is a ball with a flat base and a round, angled flat touchscreen. It's small enough to fit in one hand. Like other Echo devices, it's not battery powered and plugs into a wall outlet.

Amazon told us the default interface is a clock, but you can change those settings in the Alexa app or through the screen, though this is not something I could check as the device they showed had limited functionality.

On the top of the Echo Spot are the volume and mute buttons.
It's the rare alarm clock without a physical snooze button. I wondered if such a device would've been accepted before the age of the iPhone as your alarm clock.

I wondered how hard a tap it could take, but Limp assured me that the company's years of building Kindles had taught them to build tough devices. He added that the company would replace any broken devices. At least Echo Spot has a rubberized bottom so it won't go sliding off your night stand.
Like the Show, the Echo Spot has a camera on its face (hidden in the black ring surrounding the screen) and supports voice, video calls, and drop-ins. The latter is when, with the call recipient's permission, you can call someone and see a very fuzzy version of their environment before they fully pick up the call.
Echo Spot device has speakers, which I did not get to hear, an audio out jack for, I guess, private listening, and Bluetooth connectivity if you want to play music on your favorite speaker.
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Like virtually all other Amazon Echo devices, the Echo Spot is capable of controlling other smart home devices. It even has Amazon's second-generation far-field listening technology, which means you can almost whisper your Alexa queries. I just wish I could tell you how this worked.
I did find it odd that, as the original Echo device is finally getting a variety of skins, the Echo Spot is only available in two colors: black and white. That could limit its appeal in the bedroom and other parts of the house.
Amazon started taking pre-orders on the Echo Spot today and expects to start shipping in December. I hope I get a review unit before then so I can tell you all about it.
