I thought the Amazon Echo could already make phone calls and send
messages but even so this new generation is a huge step forward.
I've found a new use for my Echo Dot, I have it paired to my Bose
Soundlink Mini II and now use the echo as an Audible Book reader because
the Echo has such a rich command set for navigating one's way through
books, so convenient.

On 31 October 2017, Amazon is to launch the new Alexa-powered Echo range of
devices. I think the Dot and Tap launch on the same day.
The new Echo will have vastly improved sound, as it incorporates unique woofer
and tweeters which will enhance the sound when streaming high quality audio.
The new speaker will have 360-º surround sound, providing a richly room-filling
audio experience.
The microphones in the Echo have also been enhanced, along with a faster
processor and better responsiveness.
But perhaps the most exciting new functionality is the ability to send
messages, and make phone calls, all via your hands-free device. Speak it, and
send it!
I’ve pre-ordered a new Echo, so we will see. Incidentally, the latest version
of the Alexa app for Android and iOS has support already for the messaging and
phone calls features.
