Amazon Echo Show 5 Preorders Kick Off, Shipping Soon
Amazon has unveiled the latest addition to the Echo Show line with the Echo Show 5. This is a 5.5-inch device with Amazon Alexa voice assistant tech.
The device has all the features of the larger Echo Show device, including the ability to play music with a powerful internal speaker. It will stream all sort of shows to its screen from Amazon Prime and other sources, and play music from several streaming services. An ambient light sensor will keep the screen just right in brightness, so it doesn’t light up a dark room. It also has new clock faces to wake up to in the mornings.
And if you’re concerned about privacy, it has a special mic and camera off button to electronically disconnect them, as well as a mechanical shutter that can be closed over the camera lens.
You can preorder the Echo Show 5 from Amazon for just $89.99, and shipping is expected to kick off on June 26.

The Martian mVoice Smart Watch Is the Perfect Gift for Father’s Day
Father’s Day may only come around once a year, but hey – fathers are fathers all year, and it’s about time they were rewarded with a little something they can enjoy year-round. Treat the fathers in your life (or yourself, if you’re a father, too) with a Martian mVoice Smart Watch.
The Martian mVoice AE series is a stylish timepiece that’s perfect for encouraging a healthy, active lifestyle. While it may look like a traditional analog watch, it’s actually packed with technology, and can provide turn-by-turn navigation, notifications from your most used apps, and compatibility with the voice assistant Amazon Alexa. You can place or accept phone calls with a simple tap, and you can even use the watch as a control for snapping group photos. If you’re about to accidentally leave your phone somewhere, your watch will give you a warning. It works all of this magic via a Bluetooth connection to your Android or iOS smartphone.
So do something nice for Dad this year, and treat him to a Martian mVoice Smart Watch. Get one for only $69.99 in the Technabob Shop.
