The app, called Amazon.com, lets users browse Amazon and even sign in to their Amazon accounts to access popular Amazon features like one-click buying. Another exciting feature of the Amazon.com app is the new "Amazon Remembers" feature, which uses Amazon's Mechanical Turk program to match pictures taken with the iPhone to products available for purchase on Amazon.VentureBeat: Amazon launches an iPhone app...
