The current version of the Amazon Echo.
Amazon is reportedly getting ready to expand the Echo Speaker family, with plans to debut a new, smaller, cheaper, and portable version of the voice-activated device in a few weeks.

Amazon is expected to release the new version of its voice-activated tabletop speaker soon, according to sources cited by The Wall Street Journal.

The current speaker rests on a tabletop and has to be plugged into an outlet. Beyond playing your favorite tunes, the Echo acts as a voice-activated assistant, making shopping lists and answering questions when asked. This new version — code named Fox — is designed to fit in the palm of a user’s hand, sort of like a beer or soda can, and is expected to sell for less than the $180 price of the current model

It can also be charged on a docking station instead of having to stay plugged in. To preserve battery life, you’ll have to turn on the voice-command function with a button.

Any other details or photos will have to wait, as Amazon is staying mum on the WSJ’s report thus far.
