Amazon announced 70 new devices. Here's each one. Kidding. Kind of.

From an updated Echo Show with a gorgeous 10-inch HD screen to an Echo Wall Clock (seriously), no stone was left unturned. Amazon joked at the start that it would cover about "70 news things" over the course of an hour, and while it felt like that many devices were trotted out, we actually saw a dozen, and the event spanned an entire two hours. It wasn't live streamed either, but we were there to cover it live.

You probably saw the flurry of news posts shared to Twitter, but to get you up speed, we've compiled all the major announcements here.

All-new Amazon hardware

Amazon Echo Input

The all-new Echo Input plugs it into an existing speaker to turn it into an Echo, similar to the Echo Dot, but it has far-field microphones and no speaker. You can plug it into or pair with another speaker to add Alexa to your home audio. In that way, it also reminds us of Google's Chromecast Audio. It will cost $34.99 in the US. It'll be available to buy later this year. When it launches, you can buy it on Amazon.
