Amazon.com, has announced its Amazon application for iPhone and iPod touch is now available on the Apple App Store for free. The Amazon app offers a way for users to search and browse for products offered by Amazon and thousands of retailers like Target and Macy’s, access Amazon’s shopping features such as customer reviews, and purchase using 1-Click Shopping and Amazon Prime.
The Amazon app for iPhone and iPod touch includes an experimental feature called “Amazon Remembers.” Amazon Remembers helps customers keep track of items they see in their daily lives and even tries to match photos of products to the same or similar products available on Amazon.com, according to Sam Hall, director of Amazon Mobile. Customers simply snap photos with their iPhone, the photos are automatically uploaded to Amazon.com, which then tries to find products similar to the ones in the photos. As soon as the customer receives the results, they can then purchase the item immediately or “remember it” for later in their Amazon account, he says.
The Amazon app is available free from Apple’s App Store. For more info go here.
