Amazon's new Echo Spot is a smart alarm clock that can make video calls and be connected to external speakers via cable or Bluetooth. This new device seems to be a crossover between the Echo Dot and Echo Show, with a tiny 2.5-inch screen and a more curved edge. You can make video calls or it can double as a nursery camera. The Spot is going on sale in December 19th and costs $130. Preorders are live today.
