After the iPhone and BlackBerry, Amazon released its mobile application for Android-powered smartphones, allowing Google fans (and other Android handset users) to shop on-the-go.
There are over 40 product categories and thousands of other merchants to pick from. You can either browse or search for product, the way you used to on the “real” website. Moreover, from the application you can access your account, shopping cart, wish lists, track orders, get personalized recommendations, change settings, and so on. The most important thing is that the app is secure, meaning you can safely do your shipping using all the benefits of the 1-Click no-hassle procedure.
Finally, and this is where it gets really interesting, the application uses the phone’s camera for “remembering” products through snapshots and can also work with barcodes, which is ultra cool. Plus, if you’re using “Amazon Remembers,” the app can notify you when the items you’ve submitted for finding are found in the store. Cool again! Look for it in the Android Market…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
