To be clear, there's already tomato sauce all over the living room. By my count, Amazon's unveiled 21 -- yes, 21! -- different Alexa speakers, gadgets and accessories to date, and that isn't even counting all of the Alexa-equipped Fire tablets and Fire TV streamers, nor does it take into account the glut of third-party Alexa devices not made by Amazon. 

Alexa is everywhere, and as of this past summer, she's hoarding about 70 percent of the smart speaker market to herself. With just four speakers in its catalog, Google's 24 percent remains in a distant second place.
