Amazon's Music Unlimited streaming service aims to take on Spotify and Apple Music

While Amazon has offered streaming music for free with Amazon Prime subscriptions, the range of artists, songs and albums was rather lacking compared to larger libraries from services like Spotify and Apple Music.

Amazon actually has another music streaming service in Canada available since last month and unlike Prime Music, which has around one million songs, the Music Unlimited service offers millions of songs. Costing $9.99 a month, Music Unlimited is discounted to $7.99 for individual and current Amazon Prime users. A family plan costs $ 14.99 a month and a single device subscription (ideal for one Amazon Echo device) for $3.99 a month.

Canadians today are spoiled for choice when it comes to smart speakers and smart home technology. Just think that two years ago, we had to sneak in Amazon Echos and Google Homes across the border and run through hoops to enable some fascimile of functionality with these devices.

Today there are literally dozens of smart speaker devices to choose from and Amazon has just made choosing the right device more challenging thanks to its latest fall harvest of devices.

Google has quietly added its new USB-C headphones which are included with the new Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, not only are these generally lightweight to use and fit nicely in most user's ears. Google says these will sound great with 24-bit digital audio and should be outstanding companions to the new Pixel 3 flagships.

Dyson launches Airwrap Styler aimed at the beauty market

Dyson continues on its innovation of the beauty and aesthetics space with the new  Dyson Airwrap Styler. This is a multi-styling hair tool engineered to curl, wave, smooth and dry with no extreme heat.

Dyson’s high-pressure digital V9 motor harnesses an aerodynamic phenomenon known as the Coanda effect. Air, when propelled at the right speed and pressure, naturally follows an adjacent surface, entraining surrounding air. Dyson engineers amplified this effect six times on the Dyson Airwrap™ styler curling barrel, which creates a spinning vortex of air that attracts, wraps and curls hair and creates the looks that women really want.
