Does the Tap have bluetooth out capability?

I know the Tap can receive bluetooth in from another wireless device to play music from the tap speaker but can it also send bluetooth out to a different speaker (like the Dot can and now even the Echo)?

Don't really think so, because that was not mentioned when the announcement regarding Echo and Dot was made.  Anyway, it is unnecessary -- just connect directly to a BT speaker if that is what one wants to do.

Idea!:  If you have a Tap, then try it and report back if it did or did not work.

It does not.  Just tested. Awesome that the Echo can now. It used to not be able to.

I hope they add this to Tap soon. I also hope they add change wake word and turn off the stupid beep in hands free mode too soon. There's no reason Tap shouldn't be as full featured as Echo and Dot.

Thanks guys.  I was tninking of using the Tap n my Bedroom (better sound than the dot) and having it connect to the stereo system in my Master Bath so I would hear in through that system when in the bathroom.  Since it doesnt send out Bluetooth (at least yet) it isnt a good option and Ill likely stick with adding another Echo.  Too bad since I like the portability aspect of the Tap as well as the cheaper price!

So do what I do. . . . I take a Tap into the bathroom sometimes!

I would definitely buy a waterproof version of Alexa for my bathroom if one existed.

I don't get mine wet!  You can always slip a plastic long and narrow newspaper bag over the Tap or cover any device or BT speaker.

Sure, could do that.  Or preferrably, with a simple voice command, switch the output over to my higher end in room sound system that is already in the bathroom without carrying anything around.

A high end BATHROOM sound system.  Egads, what's next?
