Amazon Launches Photo-Shopping Tool in BlackBerry App World

Today Amazon announced a new application for BlackBerries. Available from BlackBerry App World, the application will allow BlackBerry users to search for items and buy them with one click from Amazon.com. The app also includes the Amazon Remembers feature. Amazon Remembers lets users take pictures of things they see out in their daily lives, upload them to Amazon, where they are matched to items that are for sale. If the photos are successfully matched to items that Amazon offers for sale, the app user can then purchase the item immediately directly from their BlackBerry. The application is a free download and works will all trackball-enabled BlackBerries.
