Less predictable is what, exactly, we should expect to see today, because it sounds like we might see a lot. CNBC already reports that Amazon has as many as eight new Alexa gadgets planned for release this year -- everything from an Echo subwoofer to an Alexa microwave (that "Echo Sub" briefly popped up on the Amazon UK website, as well, along with an Alexa smart plug for good measure). On top of that, we've seen leaked images of a third-gen, fabric-bodied Echo Dot that Amazon is reportedly cooking up, too.
Will all of these rumored devices make their debut? I'm guessing that at least a couple aren't past the prototype stage yet, but then again, Amazon has made a recent habit of throwing multiple ideas at the wall at once to see what sticks. Anything is possible when you're a trillion-dollar company, I suppose.
