Amazon redesigns for the iPad

27.10.10 - Victoria Gallagher - The Bookseller
Amazon.com has launched a new app for the ipad, Windowshop, which is a "top-to-bottom rewrite" of Amazon.com.

The new app is specifically designed for the ipad and is now available for free on the app store. The online retailer said many customers may prefer Amazon Windowshop because of its "intimate and fluid user interaction".

Jeff Bezos, founder and ceo of Amazon.com, said: "Amazon Windowshop is a top-to-bottom rewrite of Amazon.com - designed and built without compromise just for iPad."

He added: "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."

The app is yet to be made available in the UK and Amazon would not comment further on when this may be.
