It's Tuesday, May 09, 2017. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. This morning we’re expecting big news from Amazon, and we have a finally have a trailer for the new Blade Runner movie. Oh, and there’s a spray that can put touch controls on anything. Stay tuned. If these leaks are correct, we know the name of Amazon’s “touchscreen Echo,” its price and possibly even the release date. The Wall Street Journal reports the company will announce its new device this week, with built-in intercom/video calling features. Separately, a leaked flyer on AFTVnews called the device the Echo Show, saying it will be revealed today with a $230 price tag and shipments starting June 28th. | | This is becoming a habit.

With the Snapdragon 660 and 630, Qualcomm is setting us up to expect more powerful mid-range phones later this year. High-end features like 4K video processing, dual rear cameras, speedy LTE and WiFi downloads and AI processing are all onboard. Plus, there’s an upgraded GPU to push polygons faster than mid-range buyers are accustomed to experiencing. | | Iconic.
