During quarantine and the entire subsequent and current period that we continue to live with the pandemic, video calls they have become part of the family and we increasingly need better cameras and microphones to get the job done and even family gatherings.
Amazon, as is often the case in many cases, was able to anticipate the need and launched a device called Amazon Glow, although it was intended for a very special part of families: children. And that’s what Glow has combined video calls with games.
The idea was that the child could play on a surface on which puzzles, books and various games were projected, during a video chat thanks to the screen he had. Of course, as you can see in the image, we are talking about a rather large device and not very useful if we want the child to pay attention to us.
Well, a year after its launch, Amazon has finally decided to remove it from its catalog. As a last chance to buy, the company put this device up for sale. 55% discount, cost $150 (originally raised to $300) shortly after they finally pulled it off their catalog.
Amazon continues the process of company reorganization
It seems that this kind of news, as reported by Bloomberg, does not appear out of nowhere and certainly what we have been able to observe regarding the closure of shops or services.
For example, at the end of last year, we already announced the closure of Alexa.com, a tool that allows developers to see traffic rankings from the largest websites to the smallest. On the other hand, Amazon Care, a dedicated virtual health service launched in 2019, will stop operating at the end of this year, Amazon announced.
In July, he raised his Amazon Prime subscription by over 30% due to inflation and then announced that Amazon Drive was shutting down.
Jeff Bezos’ signature confirms that some of his decisions were not the best and it seems to be device video calls for kids we can include it in this list.
Despite all this, Amazon is still one of the big players in the world of online sales, and despite some setbacks, its moves forward continue to have a big global impact, such as with the purchase of iRobot or on Prime Day 2022, which will repeat the dates October 11 and 12.
