Whoever is in charge of this business unit is a genius. I would replace Sirius XM in a second with Amazon music if I could and the car speaker may be my entrance point:
The Amazon microwave will cost $60, ship starting November 14, and take commands via Amazon’s voice assistant Alexa. Just tell your microwave what you’re cooking, how you’d like it cooked, and for how long — oh, and by the way, you can hit an Amazon Dash button that auto-reorders microwave popcorn from Amazon.
If it doesn’t sound very exciting, that’s because it isn’t. The microwave is being sold as part of AmazonBasics, which is also the section of the site where you can buy generic lightning cables, clothes hangers, batteries, and yoga mats.
In just over an hour, Amazon announced, by its own count, “70 new devices, customer features, and developer tools.” This includes but is (obviously!) not limited to: half a dozen new Alexa-enabled Echo speakers, including one that goes in your car, a $25 smart plug that lets you connect Alexa to any appliance, a $35 device that can turn any speaker into an Alexa-controlled speaker, an analog wall clock that talks to Alexa (why?), a security system that talks to Alexa, and a DVR that talks to an updated Echo Show, which, of course, talks to Alexa
