Amazon Echo Button gets a bit more useful

While first marketed as a fun accessory for playing party games, the Amazon Echo Buttons are getting some added, useful features. These can now perform Alexa routines by simply tapping a button. It’ll let you do things like turn on the lights without talking to your speaker or let guests cue music without having to remember specific commands. You can enable this feature by creating routines in the latest version of the Alexa app. To activate them, you just choose the Echo Button as a trigger and then you’re good to go.

Firefox tests out price comparison tool in the US

The holiday season is upon us so what better time for Firefox to be testing out a new price comparison tool. This new Firefox plugin being tested is called Price Wise. It can track prices of products across five major storefronts in the US—namely Amazon, Best Buy, eBay, Home Depot, and Walmart. The add-on will let you add products to a list where you can compare their prices over time and even score a deal you might not see otherwise. The retailers were chosen because these shopfronts are said to be among the top 10 online shops visited by Firefox users. Unfortunately, it isn’t available for international users just yet. But we’re still hoping it makes its way to us soon.

Spotify gets official Apple Watch app

The long-awaited Spotify app for the Apple Watch is now live. It’ll give Apple Watch users an easier way to navigate the app as well as make it easier to connect to other devices via Spotify Connect. It’ll let you play or stop music and podcasts, skip tracks, rewind a podcast by 15 seconds, favorite tracks, and access music playlists and other recently played tracks. You’ll need to have the latest version of Spotify (v.8.4.79) to gain access to the app. But you may or may not have access to it just yet as the company says it’ll be rolling out in the coming week. You can also expect features, like playing music and podcasts offline, at a later date.
