Did Jeff Bezos's kids really use blue painters' tape to attach an Amazon Echo speaker to a robot vacuum cleaner? Or was his Instagram post on Monday just a teaser for his company's next device?

Bloomberg News in April reported on Amazon's plans to release a mobile Echo robot for the home.

Investors analyse Bezos's comments for any insights into the secretive technology company's next big project. In an earnings release on Thursday, he stirred speculation that the e-commerce giant is working on another smartphone by saying, "We want customers to be able to use Alexa wherever they are."

Or maybe Bezos's kids were just messing around with the family Roomba.

Amazon didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
