The device, which was described as being a limited run, is specifically designed to play Spotify audio, so there's no maps or internet functionality built-in. The small music player-which essentially looks like a smartphone turned on its side-connects to a Spotify premium subscription and lets users search for songs, podcasts or entertainment on the app using a simple "Hey Spotify" voice command.

Streaming giant Spotify unveiled its first hardware experiment this week: a Bluetooth-connected smart device officially named "Car Thing."
