The first third-party integration of Alexa comes from GE, and it looks pretty cool. If I didn't just get an Echo Dot a week ago, I'd be clamoring for a release date here. It makes a lot of sense for GE to get into this space, especially when you consider their involvement in the household appliance space. It would be a great experience to have your oven, your fridge, and your washer/dryer connected to Alexa.
GE is working to unleash the ultimate living experience through a suite of connected products designed to make your life simpler and help you do more. First on that journey is a contemporary LED table lamp that embeds Amazon Alexa Voice Service (AVS) directly inside, allowing you to use a light to order your dinner, listen to the latest headlines, preheat your oven or give a host of other voice commands.
