This year's Fire tablets are available to customers worldwide in the US, UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. Fire tablets are powered by Fire OS 5, based on Android Lollipop 5.1 and API 22. For developers, if an app runs on Android, it can run on Fire OS with little to no development work.
Amazon's powerful and popular streaming media players help enable app and game developers to reach more customers in the living room. Build something new or bring your existing app or game to Amazon Fire TV devices from PC, console, web or mobile. To get started, you can build with Android or use HTML5.
Amazon Echo is designed around your voice – it's hands-free and always on. Customers ask Echo for information, music, news, and weather from across the room and get answers instantly. The all-new Amazon Echo Dot enables customers to add Alexa to any room. With the same far-field voice recognition as Amazon Echo, the Echo Dot has a built-in speaker and also connects over Bluetooth or with the included audio cable—to your own speaker.
Amazon Tap is a portable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled speaker that gives you rich, full-range sound. Dual stereo speakers with Dolby processing offer crisp vocals and extended bass response. And unlike other Bluetooth speakers that only face forward, Amazon Tap has dual stereo speakers that provide immersive, 360 degree omni-directional audio. When connected to Wi-Fi or a mobile hotspot, just tap the microphone button and ask for music, hear news, search for information, order a pizza, and more with the Alexa Voice Service.
