SEATTLE — Amazon held a special event on Thursday to unveil a slew of new gadgets and services.

At the start of the event, Amazon exec Dave Limp said "We’ve got 70 things to talk about," and if he was joking, it was hard to tell. According to Limp, Thursday’s event featured the largest number of devices and features that Amazon has ever announced in a single day.

The event was held in the Amazon Spheres, which are three large glass domes located on Amazon’s headquarters in Seattle. Business Insider was in attendance, and checked out the hands-on area afterwards.

Here’s everything Amazon announced at its massive September event:

NEW ECHO DOT

The Echo Dot — Amazon's best-selling speaker ever, which is a miniature version of the original Echo — got a bunch of improvements, including a new design, and better speakers that are 70% louder than the previous version.

The new Echo Dot costs $50, like the last model, and starts shipping in October.

NEW ECHO PLUS

Amazon unveiled a new Echo Plus speaker that features stronger bass and an equalizer feature that lets you adjust the bass and treble using just your voice.

The new Echo Plus also has an integrated temperature sensor so you can create special commands that trigger actions, so you could have it turn on your fans if a room gets too hot, for example. It will also support local voice control, so you won’t need an internet connection to do some basic commands like turning on lights.

The new Echo Plus is available for pre-order, and starts shipping in October. It costs $149.99.

NEW ECHO SHOW

Amazon redesigned the Echo Show to have a bigger 10-inch HD screen — twice the display area of the original Echo Show — and better sound quality. It also has two new web browsers, including Firefox and Amazon’s Silk browser.

You can pre-order the new Echo Show now, which starts shipping in October. It costs $229.99.
