It's been a while since we've seen so many products announced at one time from any company.
Amazon announced a slew of new products on Wednesday, including new Echo devices that house Amazon's smart voice-activated assistant Alexa, as well as some nifty new features.
Business Insider's Matt Weinberger got some hands-on time with all the new devices, which replace and refresh some older Echo models while also adding brand-new members to the Echo family.
The company also announced a new Fire TV that will make the most of the latest video standards.

Plus, Alexa was also added to a very special fish-related product, which you'll see at the end of this roundup.
Here's what we thought of all the new Amazon products announced on Wednesday.
The all-new Amazon Echo
This new Echo is way smaller — it's only slightly taller than a soda can, and the base fits in your palm. It's hard to gauge in the controlled conditions of an Amazon demo area, but the sound quality does seem noticeably improved from the old model. It also sports a faster processor, which Amazon says makes Alexa's voice recognition better and more reliable.
It also sports a pair of nifty side-perks:
First, you can choose between six casings for your Echo, including a wood veneer and a full fabric covering. If you get bored, you can swap. The casings seem to be high-quality when we looked at them in-person, which is nice if you're going to place the Echo in your living room. Second, unlike the old Echo, this new one sports an auxiliary jack to plug in your own speakers.

Echo Plus
The new $149 Echo Plus keeps the original Echo's design, but it comes with better sound, as well as a built-in smart home hub to control your smart home devices, like smart lightbulbs, smart door locks, and smart thermostats.
The original Echo could also control your smart home devices, but you needed to install the appropriate app, or skill.
Echo Spot
The new $130 Amazon Echo Spot is a small device with a circular 2.5-inch display that's a mixture of the Echo Dot and Echo Show.
With the Spot, you'll be able to make video calls with its built-in camera and speakers, and it can be connected to speakers using a 3.5mm AUX cord or via Bluetooth. It looks like it could make a great, albeit expensive, bedside alarm.
The Echo Spot also supports certain screen-based apps: You can check your calendar, watch Amazon Prime video, or even read restaurant reviews on Yelp, among other things.
Importantly, Amazon tells us that the Echo Spot will have better sound quality than the Echo Dot — but you'll still want a $99 Echo or $149 Echo Show if you want the music to fill a room.
And yes, you'll be able to dim the screen at night so you can sleep.
How to get it: The Spot will go on pre-order on Wednesday, and will become available to buy in December.
Echo Buttons
Amazon's new $20 Echo Buttons are glowing single-button devices that come in packs of two. They're designed to be used for simple family-style games like buzzers for trivia games or Simon Says.
The buttons are actually really fun to press, with a satisfying "click" when you push it down. Plus, they flash pretty colors.
How to get it: The new Echo Button will be available to buy in the holiday season. Check out more details about the Echo Buttons here.
Echo Connect
The $35 Amazon Echo Connect turns any Echo model into a landline phone. It connects to your home's phone jack and to your Echo, and you'll be able to place or receive phone calls using your home's landline number.
Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to try this one out. But it's a really interesting idea that speaks to Amazon's vision of the Echo as a communications device.
How to get it: The Amazon Echo Connect is available for pre-order starting Wednesday. Check out more details about the Echo Connect here.
A new Fire TV
Amazon's new $69 Fire TV streaming box is smaller than previous models, and it can stream video in 4K and HDR,
Alexa will come included with BMW and Mini cars starting in mid-2018
Alexa will be compatible with future Big Mouth Billy Bass devices
Oh thank goodness, we thought the day would never come.
