Amazon had a busy day yesterday with the announcement of a new Echo and Echo Plus. To make things even more interesting, the company unveiled Echo Spot. It’s an alarm clock with a 2.5-inch screen.

Essentially, The Echo Spot is a mixture of both the Echo Dot and Echo Show. The device can be used to make video calls. There’s even a built-in speaker that allows you to listen to music from streaming services such as Prime Music, Pandora, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and TuneIn. You can even hook up the device to an external speaker thanks to its line out port.
