BERLIN, June 21 (Reuters) – Germany’s cartel office launched an investigation of Google Germany and parent Alphabet Inc on Tuesday over possible anti-competitive restrictions on the Google Maps platform.

These alternative Dots use the exact same basic hardware, but they’re more exciting products in part because they represent something beyond simple iterative improvement. Last year’s Dot with Clock was a great device, adding a small-but-useful upgrade to the Dot. They feel more sensitive to customer needs. This year’s Kids Dot adds a fun tiger- or panda-themed design and genuinely interesting kid-facing content that you won’t get on other Echo devices without a subscription (the Kids Dot comes with a free year of Amazon Kids+, which normally costs $3/month).

The MGM acquisition would give the world’s largest online retailer rights to James Bond, one of the most lucrative franchises in film history that’s earned nearly $7billion at the box office globally, according to company.

Where Amazon appears to be innovating now is not in the standard Dot, but rather in its alternatives, the Dot with Clock and the Kids Edition Dot. The new Dot doesn’t even include Amazon Sidewalk support — one of the most interesting connectivity features of the new Echo smart speaker and the upcoming Echo Show 10. Dot, Dot, Dot… My disappointment in the new Echo Dot is more general than acute: not every new generation can revitalize a device (as the third-gen full-size Echo demonstrated), but a little more creativity would be nice to see.

During Amazon’s first quarter results, the company said 175million Prime members streamed shows last year, and more than 200 million have access to it because they’re signed up for its Prime membership, which gives them faster shipping and other perks.

It will be a lot of fun work and people who love stories will be the big beneficiaries.’  And with the talent at Amazon and the talent at MGM Studio, we can reimagine and develop that IP for the 21st century.

‘The acquisition thesis here is really very simple,’ Founder Jeff Bezos, Classic Books who no longer has an active role in the company, said in May. ‘MGM has a vast, deep catalogue of much beloved intellectual property.

Dotting your ears The new Echo Dot’s big change, other than in profile, is in sound. Its 1.6-inch speaker is more powerful than the third-gen’s 1.1-inch speaker, but that half-inch upgrade isn’t as meaningful as the half-inch between the second- and third-gen Dots. For perspective, the new Dot at 90% volume is about equivalent to the third-gen Dot at max.

Amazon even smartly kept the Dot’s footprint the same as previous generations, so despite the taller frame, it won’t take up more shelf space. exchanged hard plastic shells for soft cloth exteriors, and a little visual evolution is welcome.

And the $50 price tag remains intact for this fourth generation. Along with the footprint, the niche the Dot seeks to fill hasn’t changed: it’s an entry point to smart speakers, the route to try Alexa without breaking the bank.

And Alexa — who will answer questions, facilitate voice calls, control smart home devices, monitor your home for break-ins and plenty more — performs identically on each speaker. So what’s the difference? In fact, the Dot does almost exactly what its earlier iteration does.

It remains a great entry point to voice assistance and Classical Books the smart home, but I’d probably recommend a sale-priced, Classic Books third-edition Dot before shelling out much more for the newest generation. As a result, the 2020 Dot feels non-essential. And if you’re after sound quality or hoping to really jump-start your smart home, the $100 Echo will be a much better investment than a Dot.
