Amazon Echo Dot

Just ordered a Dot -- what is the Tap? They added that to the page, too, but no info. Is it just the next gen Echo?

Ahh -- the Tap is a portable device with wifi speaker.

(Probably wouldn't call an audio monitoring box the "tap"

Looks like a portable speaker with Alexa? http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-PW3840KL-Tap/dp/B00VXS8E8S

How much was it? I can't find pricing info anywhere.

What? The price of the Echo Dot ($89.99) is clearly at the top of the article.

Weird; when I click it (I'm on mobile), it takes me to a special part of the Amazon app, and there's no price, and it says it can only be ordered by voice by people with existing Amazon hardware that can do that.

Dot and Tap are two different products.

Dot - $90 external-speaker-port echo.

Tap - $130 battery powered speaker, wifi, Bluetooth with echo, for portable use. (I'll get one if it works great in hotel rooms; otherwise won't.)
