Without a doubt, the holiday season is one of the best times to score deals on electronics. That's especially true now that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are no longer one-off events—retailers push discounted items through most of November and December. For example, just check out this fantastic deal on an Echo Show 8 with an Echo Dot bundled into the package. Amazon is selling the bundle for just $79.99, which is lower than the usual selling price of the Echo Show by itself. The Echo Show 8 is only a couple of months old, and up until the second week of November, it sold for $129.99. It then dropped to around $100 as the holiday deal season came into view, and is now down all the way to...

Amazon today announced a slew of new Alexa-powered devices, including new members of the Echo family. The first of which is the new Echo Dot with Clock, which as its name implies, features an LED clock integrated in the front (peeking from behind the fabric). With respect to design, it looks nearly identical to last year's third-generation Echo Dot. The LEDs can also be used to display timers or even the outside temperature upon request. The new Echo Dot with Clock can double as an alarm clock, and will invoke a 9-minute snooze feature if you tap the top of the device. Amazon is pricing the new entry at $59.99 (available for pre-order today), and last year's Echo Dot will stick around at a lower...
