Spending your fiat money from the comfort of your iPhone is even easier, now that Amazon has released an application (“App”) for Apple’s little wonder. The mundane functions are as you’d expect: you launch the app, then you can browse and buy goods from Amazon just as you would from your computer.
What’s worth singling out is this little photo-takign feature. Using the app, you take a photo with your iPhone then send it to Amazon. Then, after a bit of voodoo, Amazon sends you an e-mail with a link to products that match the photo (or its best guess). For example, you take a photo of a a french press, then Amazon sends you links to french presses you can buy from them. Technologically neat, sure, but you wonder how well it works in practice… and me without an iPhone!
Literally yesterday morning I was looking for a decent 3rd party iPhlix-like Amazon interface on the App store. And today this official app comes out.
So tell me, Amazon, have you been testing out your “Amazon Remembers” on my brain? Be honest, guys.
If so, you should be aware that the system works great.
I love it! It works great so far! Good Job Amazon!
