Amazon Tap turns the Echo into a Bluetooth speaker The Amazon Tap is a portable Bluetooth speaker that is smaller than the original Amazon Echo speaker. It has physical controls at the top for music control and a directional microphone that requires tapping to activate Alexa, the virtual assistant. The battery life is about nine hours of active use and three weeks on standby mode, and it comes with a charging pod. The downside is that it requires tapping to communicate with the speaker, unlike the standalone Echo. The Echo Tap is priced at $129.99 and will ship by the end of the month.
