Amazon’s new tablet doubles as a cheap Echo Show with hands-free Alexa

the company doesn’t really care how Alexa gets out into world, so long as it gets out there. The smart assistant has been available on the company’s Fire tablets for some time now, but this latest implementation on the new Fire HD 10 presents an interesting new use for the assistant.
Hands-free Alexa is admittedly a bit counterintuitive for a device designed to be used with your hands. But the fact that the feature works even with the screen up opens things up in interesting ways. At $149, the tablet could prove an interesting cut rate alternative to the $229 Echo show.
