Amazon's Alexa voice assistant is rolling out to your Amazon Fire tablet today, allowing you to get similar functionality of the Amazon Echo speaker but on your tablet instead. Alexa is coming to last generation Fire, Fire HD 10 and Fire HD 8 as well as the brand new Fire 7 (2017) and Fire HD 8 (2017). Amazon's latest tablets - the Fire 7 and Fire HD 8 - are also ready to buy today directly from Amazon and include a few minor internal and style upgrades.
If, by some freak of nature, you were actually born not as a flesh-and-blood baby human, but as plastic-and-circuitry remote control, I'd be getting worried if I were you. Not for being a crime against all biological reason but as, thanks to the ever-growing presence of voice activated assistants, you're about to go the way of the dodo. That's a long (and, admittedly weird) way of teeing up the fact that Amazon has finally seen fit to allow all Alexa devices – whether it's an Echo, Echo Dot, Fire tablet or other – to control Fire TV devices through voice commands.
Heads up, Geek readers! Amazon’s homepage exploded this morning, showering the Internet with new hardware. They’ve got four new tablets and three new members of the Fire TV family. First up is the Fire. No Kindle, mind you… just Fire. It’s the dirt-cheap tablet we saw leaked a few days ago, and Amazon says it “sets a new standard for a tablet under $50.” By under $50, they mean $49.99. It features a quad-core 1.3GHz processor, a 1024 x 600 display, front and rear-facing cameras, and 8GB of internal storage. Amazon has also thoughtfully included a micro SD slot for expansion. Amazon also introduced two new Fire HD tablets, Fire Kids Edition, and new Fire TV devices.
Firefighters from the ICMBio (Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation), Brazil's federal protected areas agency, use helicopters and make firebreaks to combat a blaze in the Amazon rainforest. Nearly 3,000 forest fires were registered in the Brazilian Amazon in February 2024, the highest for any February since records began in 1999, and made more likely by climate change, according to experts.
