One of the gadgets that Amazon announced was the Echo Frames. This is Amazon's first attempt at smart glasses with a mic and speaker.
» These are regular looking glasses with thicker temples that contain the technology
» They can be either standard glasses or sunglasses
» Hands-free access to Alexa
» You can ask for news, reminders, and direction, schedule an appointment, add to the to-do list, and make and receive calls
» Echo Frames are not currently compatible with iOS smartphones.
» Echo Frames require a compatible Android smartphone and the Alexa app for connectivity and use your existing smartphone data plan. Carrier charges may apply.

Echo Loop, a smart ring that has Alexa built-in as well. It is also currently available by invite only

Amazon Echo Buds

The next "newly" released gadget I have written about in the past, New Cool Up-and-Coming Auto Travel Gadgets & News, is the Echo Auto.
