You pick up that right wing , we ’re still a little over three weeks away from Christmas , but you could already expunge every auntie , uncle , and cottage - owner off of your holiday shopping list as Billy once again goes on sale starting on December 1 for about $ 40 .
At first glance , the new version looks identical to the original , complete with a red button for manually starting a functioning of an let in song call ‘ Fish In ’ Time . ’ What ’s less obvious is that this adaptation of Billy can connect to your smartphone and the Alexa app over Bluetooth , so that every fourth dimension you expect the smart helper a doubt , or bespeak a song , Alexa ’s response will look to be speak from the Pisces the Fishes ’s lip . It also ferment alongside basically every Alexa gimmick Amazon sells , right up to thesecond - generation Echo Show . While Billy is “ compatible with Alexa , ” it does n’t come out to play on its own like a standalone Alexa speaker .
Like the original Big Mouth Billy Bass , the Alexa support will almost surely drop off its novelty after about 10 minutes . But if you ’ve been trying to convince your tech - cautious family to try out a voguish supporter , this could be the irritating gateway drug that get them hooked .
