CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Jessica Dolcourt on December 02, 2008
Simplified searching and purchasing Amazon products are the hallmark of this free iPhone outlet to Amazon's Internet store. If you're a registered member, you can view your shopping cart and items you flagged online. From that view or from a search results page, you can quickly purchase new items using Amazon Prime, 1-Click, or any credit cards associated with your account.
A new, 'experimental' feature, Amazon Remembers, works much like the free iPhone application SnapTell to photograph any item to jog your memory later, and to further attempt to link that item to a product in Amazon's extensive catalog. If you use it, it's a powerful sales tool that also saves you some busy work--though it could save you more if you were able to purchase the product directly from the result page and not just add it to your wish list.
Amazon Mobile is a great application overall for regular Amazon shoppers to make purchases on the go from a clean mobile interface. It wouldn't hurt for future versions to let you flag items to peruse offline (especially if you're a thorough reader of reviews), or browse categories rather than search. Most people may go directly to the search bar, but those options should be available.
Publisher's description
From Amazon.com :The Amazon app offers an easy way for users to search and browse for products offered by Amazon and thousands of retailers like Target and Macy's, access Amazon's popular 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." 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.
Note: The "Download Now" link directs you to the iTunes App Store, where you must continue the download process. You must have iTunes installed in order to open the link, and you must have an active iTunes account to download the application. This download may not be available in some countries.
