Amazing Deal The Amazon Echo Spot (2024) on a table.
Amazon

Amazon’s Prime Day is just around the corner, but you can already start shopping for Amazon Echo deals if you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber. Here’s a nice one — the 2024 release of the Amazon Echo Spot with a 44% discount, bringing the smart alarm clock’s price back down to its lowest-ever price of just $45 from its original price of $80. We’re not sure how much time is remaining before this offer for savings of $35 expires though, so if you’re interested, we highly recommend proceeding with your purchase immediately.

Why you should buy the Amazon Echo Spot (2024)

The Amazon Echo Spot (2024) was launched ahead of last year’s Prime Day, and around one year later, it’s still an excellent choice for access to all the capabilities of Amazon’s Alexa. Its built-in microphone enables Alexa voice commands for functions such as asking questions and controlling your other smart home devices, and its speakers deliver rich and vibrant sound for playing music and podcasts. The 2.83-inch touchscreen provides information such as the time, weather, and song titles, and you can even customize the Amazon Echo Spot display to match your personality.

In our Amazon Echo Spot (2024) versus Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) comparison, we highlight the benefits of the smart alarm clock over the smart speaker — its touchscreen that makes it easier to control and monitor, and it’s a better choice if you’re going to place the device on your nightstand with its ability to show the time and smart alarm functions. The Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) is more affordable, but this discount erases that advantage.

The 2024 edition of the Amazon Echo Spot will be a welcome addition to any home, and here’s your chance to get one — or multiples — with a 44% discount. From its sticker price of $80, it’s down to just $45 — its lowest price ever — but only for Amazon Prime members. We don’t think the smart alarm clock is going to become even more affordable once Prime Day officially starts, so you should heavily consider making your purchase right now. Getting the Amazon Echo Spot (2024) at $35 off is already a great deal, so act fast while the savings are still online.

Google Home’s Interactive Storytime feature has me wondering who actually asked for this
Google Home gets interactive AI storytime, smarter alarms, and broader camera support.
Computer, Electronics, Tablet Computer

Google Home's latest update introduces several new features, including Gemini-powered Interactive Storytime. While I’m not sure who asked for the feature, it lets families build original stories about specific topics on the fly, instead of just listening to a known story. 

So what's the big new feature here?

Proxima wants to move blood tests into the home, and it has cleared an important early hurdle
The portable analyzer delivers blood-count results in about 20 minutes, but its promise depends on transparent clinical data
Furniture, Table, Desk

Algocyte’s Proxima is designed to run blood-count tests from a small finger-prick sample and send the results to a clinician in about 20 minutes. For patients who need frequent monitoring, that could mean fewer trips to a clinic or laboratory.

The device has also moved beyond the concept stage. Proxima carries UK conformity credentials, while Algocyte operates under a certified medical-device quality system. Those steps give the project more weight than a prototype shown at a launch event.

Remember Samsung’s Ballie home robot? It may finally be inching closer to reality
Leaked app wireframes give the strongest hint yet that Samsung's Ballie home robot, first shown at CES 2020, might still be headed toward an actual release.

Samsung's rolling home robot has been the industry's longest-running "will it ever actually ship" joke, and I'll admit I'd mostly given up on it. Now, there's finally a glimmer of hope.

Samsung first unveiled Ballie as a concept at CES 2020. Then, it showed it as a significantly upgraded version four years later. However, the company never confirmed a release date or committed to releasing it at all.
