Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) today announced the release of its latest
mobile shopping application, “Amazon App for Android™,” which is now
available as a free download to a user’s device in Android Market™.
Designed specifically for Android, the Amazon App offers users a fast
and convenient way to shop on Amazon.com and thousands of other
merchants wherever they go. The application includes the experimental
Amazon Remembers feature that gives Android users two different ways to
use their device camera to find and remember items available for sale on
Amazon.com: they can either snap a photo of an item or scan a barcode,
and then receive a product match. For barcode scans and many photos,
matches are instant. Other items take just a few minutes.
“Customers have been requesting an Amazon shopping application on their
Android devices and we are thrilled to bring them the Amazon App for
Android," said Sam Hall, director of Amazon Mobile. "In addition to
their favorite Amazon shopping features, Amazon App for Android users
can use Amazon Remembers to easily keep track of the items they see in
their daily lives and even instantly match photos and barcodes to
products available at Amazon.com.”
Amazon Remembers is available on Amazon’s family of shopping
applications, including the Amazon App for iPhone and iPod Touch, the
Amazon App for BlackBerry, and now on the Amazon App for Android.
