Amazon's Echo Connect lets you make phone calls with your Echo

Amazon's Echo speakers are about to get a new superpower: phone calls.

The company just unveiled a new gadget, the Echo Connect, which allows you to make landline phone calls via your Echo.

The $34.99 box connects to your existing phone line and allows your Echo speaker to essentially act as a speakerphone. The feature is likely meant to rival Google Home's voice calling, which doesn't require an existing landline. 

Amazon also just announced the $34.99 Echo Connect so you can make voice calls with your landline number — even 911. #Amazonevent http://pic.twitter.com/kxoZhNVIbs
