From CNET: Streaming device maker Roku could have an Amazon Echo-type smart speaker in the works, a Variety report published Monday suggests.
Meanwhile, Los Gatos, California-based Roku is looking to raise as much as $220 million when it goes public next month, according to an SEC filing Monday.
Roku declined to confirm or comment on the Variety report, which is based on new job postings at Roku and other public records.
But if true, Roku would be just the latest to join the smart speaker craze sparked by Amazon's Echo and followed by Google Home and Apple's HomePod. The always-listening speakers play music, answer questions and control your smart home.
Samsung is also reportedly working on its own smart speaker.
