Amazon Debuts Sphere-Shaped Echo Speaker, Ring Home Security Drone, Luna Cloud Gaming Service and More

[dguisinger]

As someone who just had $3000 of damage to my car from someone breaking in and not having anything to steal, I'm looking forward to the car camera with LTE

 

[Geckotek]

That always home drone thing is just CREEPY and I am saying this as a echo owner

Agreed, and I still want one!

Is there a link to the Car stuff?

Who tf wants a flying camera in their house?? I don't even understand what the purpose is...

If Luke Skywalker could use it to learn how to swing a light saber, surely you could find a use for it in your home.

That drone camera makes total sense, to be honest. Rather than cameras throughout the house, one that goes where it needs to based on your need to see something.

My cat will do everything in his power to take down that drone if I got it

Apple Arcade is not a "game streaming service" … It is a subscription to download exclusive games. With a streaming service you do not download anything. It's already in the name These are two very different things that should not be mixed up in an article like this.

Thanks, I saw that, just thought there would be more, curious on what the ring car cam would look like.

$5.99 is an introductory price for Luna that Amazon says is only available during early access. There's also an Ubisoft "channel" that appears to be separate from the Luna service, so it's possible that would be an extra cost.

I wish Apple would invest in home products like this. The privacy-focused alternative.

 

[retrospek]

Anyone else feel Apple is really falling behind with new stuff...

I have cameras in my house already...and may get the drone after seeing reports from others after it is released. I have a blackvue camera in one of my cars...and the Ring cam is interesting. Good times for technology.

Realistically, what's a car camera going to do? I don't have any faith in police to the visual information gained in any way. Or do you just want it to have video to send your insurance company next time?

Everyones processors are called the A something these days arent they

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night and seeing your newly bought amazon drone camera recording you while you're sleeping.

It could be worse...

Both Luna and Apple Arcade are garbage anyway.

Introducing the new Echo Show:

Here's a scenario that Amazon apparently envisioned. Version 2 will have a minigun and a booming voice saying "you have 20 seconds to comply" when confronting the burglar.

 

[RiddlaBronc]

Glad to see Amazon is continuing to revolutionize the home sector and enriching people’s live.

slow clap*

 

[munpip214]

Just need new eero to support HomeKit and I will be happy

edit: never mind. Not for only 500Mbps

pro supports gigabit, but only two Ethernet ports...

 

[SuperCachetes]

Not gonna lie, I don't trust the Echo line, and I would never put that drone in my house. But it's still one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Wow.

 

[CarlJ]

Aww, such cute little panda and tiger Amazon spies to listen in on your kids. That’s not creepy at all.

 

[Maconplasma]

I wonder if other non-Apple related tech sites get updates every time Apple releases something that offers no benefit to many of their members?
