The software offers a way for iPhone or iPod Touch owners to browse through all the products offered by Amazon.com, as well as by third-party retailers that make their products available online through Amazon. Also, another new application called “Amazon Remembers” allows users take a photograph of any product they see in the real world. The photos are then uploaded to Amazon and turned over to the far-flung freelance workers in Amazon, who will try to match them with products for sale on Amazon.com.

I wish I could use this application so that, instead of going around the different stores, I could just stay home and wait until somebody find me the best product with best price for me. But well, I’m not an iPhone user….hope other phone providers also offer this service in the future…
