It was announced that Amazon will be holding a product announcement on Feb 26.  I am guessing  we will find out about their new ai devices and what their subscription packages are going to be,

I'm sure they are about to announce that even more free services are going to be removed from Alexa / Echo devices and start promoting their "new" Alexa that will have a subscription fee. We already saw this about a year or two ago with Ring doorbell cameras and Ring Alarm, as well as Blink cameras. Both are owned by Amazon.

I have a wait and see attitude right now.   From what I read, the current features will stay free.   If this is truly the case, I will not be getting the ai devices nor the subscription packages.    However, if there is a show where the ai has a face that can express emotions, then maybe I will reconsider.

look like they will have an announcement but no new device releases.  Nothing new for amazon
