Amazon has announced the release of a shopping application for BlackBerry smartphones that it hopes will make it very easy for users to purchase online, on the go.
The App will make Amazon.com optimized for viewing on BlackBerry phones, while also making it easier to "browse and purchase products with one click, view customer review, track packages, and access their wish list."
Of note is the the Amazon Remembers feature which also users to take a picture of any product with the BlackBerry's camera then upload it and let the app try to match it to products available for sale through the e-tailer.
"In addition to their favorite Amazon shopping features, BlackBerry users can now access the Amazon Remembers feature for a fun and easy way to build a list of photographs showing products they want to remember for later, make price comparisons across multiple merchants, and purchase," added Sam Hall, director of Amazon Mobile.
The App is available for free and will work on the Curve, Pearl, and Bold. The touchscreen Storm is currently not supported.
