Amazon is invading your home, although not with its cardboard shipping boxes and books.
The e-commerce giant expanded its line of connected home devices on Thursday including a smaller version of its voice-controlled Echo that comes with a virtual assistant that can answer questions, turn on lights, and order items like diapers.
Users can stream music from Amazon's own music service, Amazon Prime Music, or through a variety of apps that are integrated with Echo like iHeartRadio, Pandora, and Spotify.
Amazon said that Dot will be available for pre-order starting on Thursday for members of its $99 per year Prime subscription service.
