Welcome to the Tech Mem Right Home for Friday, September 25th, 2020.

I'm Brian McCullough.

Today, all the headlines from Amazon's Hardware Event, new Echo Devices, Amazon is getting into cloud gaming with Luna, and Ring has a

literal drone that will fly around inside your house for the purposes of Century Duty.

Interesting acquisition from Apple continues to point to them doing something big in

podcasting and of course the weekend long read suggestions here's what you

miss today in the world of tech.

Yesterday afternoon Amazon held their annual hardware event.

The only problem was they didn't stream any video so I couldn't watch along and summarize.

Although that's not true, they apparently did invite some outlets to watch live but Tech mean was not one of them

and then they also didn't give us any embargoed heads up as to what they were going to announce either

which sometimes companies will do so that we can prepare for what is being announced.

So this is all by way of explaining why I'm reporting on the event today.

There was simply no way to summarize what happened yesterday.

I had to actually wait for people to write up what happened before I even knew what happened myself.

The big news was that Amazon has gotten into the streaming gaming game.

Say hello to Luna.

A cloud gaming service going live in October for $5.99 a month

with a special game pad and support for Fire TV, PC, Mac, and I.

And later for Android.

Not sure why Android is coming later.

But given recent news, how interesting is it that it's coming to iOS at all? I mean haven't we been talking
