Amazon Launches Windowshop App for the iPad




The Amazon Windowshop app is a top to bottom rewrite of Amazon.com designed and built specifically for the iPad.

It is an amazing new way to shop Amazon's millions of items. Same selection, same low prices, same fast delivery, same benefits of your Amazon Prime membership – just a completely new fluid interface designed specifically for lean-back, touch screen tablets. With the flick of a finger you will be able to visually browse across many best selling product categories.

Windowshop for iPad allows you to:
• Discover more products within a category by touching the category (column) heading and be presented with all of the subcategories with hundreds of additional, related products.
• Explore the deep Amazon.com catalog by selecting the Browse button and picking the list type desired (Best Sellers, New Releases, Recommendations, etc…) then browse the categories and subcategories to find the products you are looking for.
• Learn more about the products by selecting the product from the grid of product images and be presented with the detailed product screen including the pictures and videos related to that product (which includes 30 second samples for the music items). Included are tabs for product details and description, user reviews, and related products.
• Take advantage of Amazon Prime membership by easily discovering which products qualify for Amazon Prime.
• Get a close-up view of the product by tapping on the product image and leverage the iPad capabilities to zoom into the hi resolution images.
• Complete purchases quickly by taking advantage of Amazon 1-Click checkout.
• Share items you have discovered via e-mail, Facebook, or Twitter.
• Save an item for later by adding it to your Wish List.
• Access all of your wish lists.
• Continue your Amazon shopping as the Windowshop application uses the same Amazon account, cart, wish, list, authentication, etc.

The categories within the Amazon Windowshop App browse experience include: Books, Textbooks, Kindle Magazines & Newspapers, Movies, Music, TV Episodes, Games, CDs, Electronics, Home & Garden, Automotive, Baby, Beauty, Camera & Photo, Cell Phone & Services, Clothing, Computers, Grocery, Health & Personal Care, Home Improvement, Industrial & Scientific, Jewelry, Kitchen & Dining, Magazines, MP3 Music, Music Instruments, Office Products, Patio & Garden, Shoes, Software, Sports & Outdoors, Video, & Watches.

You can download Windowshop from the App Store for free
