So let’s say you are convinced that the Prime membership is a good thing, but why do you need an Alexa-enabled Portable Bluetooth Speaker?
Amazon Tap is a similar device to Amazon Echo which is the first of this kind of products and it was launched in a tasting mode during the fourth quarter of 2014. Recently the company expanded the products line in its family by introducing Amazon Dot.
Though all of these devices when connected to Wi-Fi you can access Alexa, a cloud-based voice service that is always getting smarter. As of now it has more than 1,000 skills. So you can just tap the microphone button and ask to hear news, set a timer, get the weather, and more. New skills are continually added—such as ordering a pizza, setting your robot vacuum cleanner or requesting a ride from Uber. If such an explanation sounds a bit short or outlandish, have a look at the video below to get more ideas on how you can use the Amazon Tap.
Although relatively still new, Alexa-enabled devices are gaining popularity especially in the United States where Amazon has nearly invaded the lives of ordinary consumers. A number of early technology adopters commented they have a few devices in a household. It makes sense if you live in a large house.
According to industry insiders, only the sales of Amazon Echo rose nearly 75% during the first quarter of 2016. Indeed, this may be the reason for Amazon to launch the more affordable Amazon Tap and Amazon Dot in May.
Whatever the case, offered for as little as $69 the Amazon Tap Prime Day deal looks like a very good opportunity to try a novelty on discount. And if you don’t have an Alexa-enabled device to get advantage on the lowest price, still you will be able to buy the device for $79 which is also a one-time deal not to miss.
