The event is slated for September 30, and the timing puts Amazon back on track for its usual fall preview of its latest wares. Amazon skipped its typical fall event last year in favor of a smaller Kindle-only unveiling.
The Amazon invitation shows what appears to be Alexa's telltale blue light ring, along with the famous Kindle logo, so it seems like new Echo devices and Kindle tablets are safe bets.
The upcoming event will mark the first full-on Amazon Devices fall showcase since the arrival of Alexa , the AI-supercharged version of Alexa. Alexa made its splashy debut back in February following a lengthy delay, and it's been rolling out ever so slowly over the past several months.
Amazon's big fall hardware event will also be the first to feature Panos Panay, the former Microsoft executive who took over Amazon's Alexa and Echo divisions. Panay, who succeed outgoing Amazon exec David Limp back in September 2023, hosted a scaled-down Kindle event last fall, as well as the Alexa reveal earlier this year.
Several of Amazon's most popular Echo devices are due for a refresh, including the ever-popular Echo Dot. The fifth-generation Echo Dot made its debut back in 2022, most notably with the new ability to act as an extender for Amazon's Eero mesh Wi-Fi routers.

For starters, this power strip has six AC outlets, much like any conventional power strip. But they're arranged three on each side, making it easier to fit large plugs and adapters without covering up outlets and wasting space. On top of that, you get two USB-A and two USB-C charging ports, allowing you to charge your phone, tablet, laptop, Nintendo Switch, and everything else without clogging up the outlets. (The USB-C ports deliver up to 20W, the USB-A ports up to 12W.)
I like that this power-strip-charging-station-thing comes with a 5-foot cable with a flat plug, making it easy to plug into your wall even when it's behind furniture. The Anker strip has a built-in 8-point safety system that will protect your gear from overloads, overcurrent, overvoltage, and short circuits. In short, it's as good as what you have, but better.
This might be the easiest $20 you spend to organize your cables and chargers and free up space. Get Anker's 10-in-1 USB power strip for $19.99 before this limited-time deal expires!
