  • More than 100M devices featuring Amazon.com's (NASDAQ:AMZN) Alexa digital assistant have been sold, The Verge reports.
  • The company's still circumspect about reporting its own hardware sales, according to the report: It declined to disclose Echo Dot holiday numbers though it's sold out through January, according to Amazon's Dave Limp.
  • More than 150 products have Alexa built in, and more than 28,000 smart home devices work with Alexa.
  • A number of 100M still pales in comparison to devices with Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL)'s Siri or the Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Assistant, though, as those are preinstalled on phones.
  • Limp says he's not interested in exclusivity deals, though, and supports device makers creating items that support multiple digital helpers: “We’re still a big believer in multiple assistants ... We think they will interact in lots of different ways.”
