Slick use of MTurk, take a picture and buy that thing. Now only if it was instantaneous (in both recognizing things AND delivering them) - that would be The Future!

One of the new features that this App provides (above just the usual Amazon features) is the ability to take a photo of stuff you want to "remember". Seem like they Turk it in order to figure out what it is and then recommend products on Amazon.

I just took a photo of a can of mountain dew, I'll update when I hear back with "recommendations".

So people almost instantly get marked as "Not on Amazon"

Other stuff is working surprisingly well.

The end of a Wii box, shoes (they were even close to the right size) that looked almost like mine, a stapler. I think once the silly value wears of this could be a really great feature.

I can really seem myself using this to record stuff that I ought to buy and then adding it to either my wishlist or just buying it with prime.

I wonder if they accelerated their schedule due to rejecting Mazo just a couple of days ago (a third-party Amazon client they denied API use).

How about letting me download and read a book?

I don't think the iPhone's screen would be good for books, but it sure would be nice to have AmazonMP3 and Amazon Unbox. Doubt that Apple would approve it though.

It's actually a matter of clicking. The screen is smaller, so there is less on any given screen -- but given this limitation, the rest if fine.

Look into an app called Stanza for the iPhone. I've been using it since it has been around, and it is wonderful.

Stanza looks great. Thanks for the tip on this
