Overview

• Amazon will hold its invitation-only Devices & Services showcase on September 30 at 10 a.m. ET in New York City, with outlets planning liveblogs since no public livestream is expected.
• The event invite depicts an Echo-like speaker, a Fire TV screen, and a Kindle, signaling likely updates across those lines without official confirmation from Amazon.
• A color-capable Kindle Scribe is widely anticipated after the invite included the phrase “with the stroke of a pen,” a clue tied to Kindle’s only write-on model.
• Tech reporting says new Fire TV hardware could debut with a Linux-based Vega OS in place of Android-based FireOS, raising near-term app and developer adoption questions.
• Coverage also flags potential Echo refreshes and separate rumors of Fire tablets moving to a new Android-based OS, with timing aligned to Prime Big Deal Days and the holiday sales window.
