And it seems like the Dot does everything that Echo does, except it has an inferior speaker?
I bet the Tap has the same capabilities as the Echos, since they all use Alexa's brain power. The Tap has better speakers than the Dot and is being marketed for its music and information capabilities while on the go.

That's right. The Dot is a squished Echo. Speakers are the differentiating feature.
