@davidelrich @Qualcomm @Microsoft Of course not. I had to stand.

@rossrubin @Qualcomm @Microsoft You still have to sit through PowerPoints? Poor boy...

.@qualcomm CES presentation announcing Snapdragon X2 Plus. @Microsoft's James Howell just gave what may be the best explanation of what an AI PC is that I've ever heard. Snapdragon Gluardian will provide remote PC management for consumers and enterprises.

Looking forward to #LenovoTechWorld at #CES2026 at The Sphe-- OMG, it's pregnant!

Biggest changes ever to the Echo line. Echo Dot Max and new Echo Studio move simplified controls to the front. No new baseline Echo for now. Dot Max sees a price bump to $99. #amazondevices

Kindle now supports transferring docs via OneNote, OneDrive, and Google Drive. Big win for many usage scenarios. #amazondevices

.@panos_panay is seriously geeking out on the engineering behind the new Kindle Scribe and how it translates into speed and lightness. Says they've been working on having colors pop for years.

New Kindle Scribe and Kindle Scribe Colorsoft lose the large left bezel of previous Scribes and other e-paper products. #amazondevices

Moving from Fire TV to Kindle. If you liked the movie, wait til you read the book. #amazondevices

A few new Fire TV features introduced among the official reveal of Vega OS. Devs can write to the metal with C++ and Rust or use higher-level languages. #amazondevices

Blink Arc combines two cameras into a mount and generates panoramic 180-degree video. No blind spots. Starting at $99! #amazondevices

New @ring Search Party feature for helping neighbors find lost dogs is a pretty cool example of AI+human intelligence collaboration #amazondevices

Ring Rerinal Vision uses a combination of improved hardware imaging and AI, pairs with AI summary notifications of what the camera is seeing. Starts at $200. #amazondevices

Five brands, yet i can't recall seeing them side by side as ecosystem tentpoles. #amazondevices

Getting ready to hear the latest in all things @AmazonAlexa and @AmazonDevices with @panos_panay

@Gartenberg @panos_panay @amazon No new devices. And yet, all new devices although some (presumably older) Echos won't handle Alexa+. If you don't subscribe to + or Prime, I'm sure you at least keep current functionality. Would be nice if at least better info awareness trickled down.

@rossrubin @panos_panay @amazon But how many will really ship and how many will be of questionable use? He's had some hits and misses along the way.

Couldn't be anything other than #pumped to see @panos_panay introduce the latest from @amazon Devices and Services this morning.

Alexa+ is $20/mo but free to Prime members, who will get by far the most use out of it. No new devices and all new devices. What happens to your Echo if you don't subscribe? And a bit surprised there wasn't much privacy discussion.

Alexa+ really widens the gap between the smart display and smart speaker experience, from more useful widget screens to analyzed @ring video displays. #amazondevices

No question that @amazon has timed this intro to get an early jump on the next wave of #AgenticAI, heavily leveraging everything it knows about your life. Interested to hear the privacy angle. #amazondevices

.@panos_panay describes #alexa as being "completely rearchitechted." #amazondevices

Not expecting an update on @ProjectKuiper today, but thinking maybe there's some demand brewing for some @Starlink competition #amazondevices
