App of the Month: Amazon Mobile

Shopping for a New App? Amazon Mobile is your new personal shopper!

Shop ‘til you drop may be a thing of the past. Amazon mobile makes it so easy to search, browse, compare prices, read reviews, and make purchases you could do it while…lying on the couch? Getting a pedicure? Eating a sandwich? Sitting in a massage chair at Brookstone…but wait – you’d have to go to the mall for that.

Holiday season is around the corner and this is the shopping companion you can’t do without.

Who hasn’t thought of the perfect gift for [loved one’s name here] only to lose it down the same memory vortex where the capital of Croatia bit the dust? Here’s a great fix. When genius strikes with the perfect gift idea, search Amazon mobile, add it to your wishlist, or go ahead and buy it right at that moment. You can even click “gift wrap”. The app links to your web account quickly and easily, enabling one click purchases.

Maybe you’re minding your own business, and you see something that inspires “the best gift idea ever.” That woman sitting next to you at the café…wearing shoes that your sister would kill for! Snap a photo and Amazon will search for that product or a similar one. The “Remember this” feature files it away for recall if you still want to shop around.

If you’re not quite ready to abandon the brick and mortar experience, a collaborative approach could really work. Scan the barcode of an item in a store to read product reviews, compare online pricing to in-store, or check availability.

Amazon customers have full access to their existing cart, wish lists, payment and shipping options, order history and tracking, just as they do on the web. All purchases made on Amazon Mobile are routed through Amazon’s secure servers.

Amazon Mobile packs a mighty punch with tons of great shopping features! All while using a simple, clean interface that’s easy to navigate, even on a smaller screen. Download it FREE for iPhone, Droid or Blackberry.

DROID RAZR™ Available this Friday: 11-11-11

The all new DROID RAZR™ will be available at Phone & Wireless locations this Friday November 11th – just in time to celebrate the two-year anniversary of the original DROID by Motorola.

The Motorola DROID RAZR features top-of-the-line specs, and it somehow fits it all into one of the thinnest and lightest smartphone cases around – a slim 7.1 millimeters thin. Features include a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, a 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED display, 1GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video capture, an LED flash, 1.3 front-facing camera for video chat, an HDMI-out port, noise cancellation capabilities, 16GB of built-in storage and a 16GB microSD card pre-installed.

Reviews from popular tech sites report that touch-sensitivity on the handset is “excellent and incredibly responsive”, and the whole package is protected by a rugged construction of Gorilla Glass and a metal case with Kevlar backing.

In response to the common complaint that smart phones eat up battery life too quickly, a new software feature to address this is included on the RAZR – Motorola’s Smart Actions app. Smart Actions lets you specify different actions for your phone to automatically perform based on locations.  For instance, if you don’t use Bluetooth when you’re at home, you can set the RAZR to turn that function off whenever you arrive at your home address.

Besides being location based, you can also set these actions on parameters like when the phone reaches a certain battery percentage. One of the suggested configurations is to have your display dim, turn off GPS, and turn off background syncing when your phone’s battery is at 20% or lower. Motorola claims that using Smart Actions can extend your battery life by up to 30%.

The DROID RAZR also offers government-grade encryption for email, contacts and calendar, voice and video conferencing, which may be particularly appealing for business use.

The Motorola DROID RAZR will be available at Phone & Wireless locations this Friday, November 11th at for $299.99 on contract with Verizon Wireless. Verizon is offering a limited time promotion for those activating new 4G smartphones, including the RAZR.  Sign up for the 2GB monthly data plan for $30, and receive the 4GB data plan – double your data.

Another great incentive: Verizon Wireless said in a press release today that DROID RAZR customers can enjoy access to NFL Mobile at no additional cost for the remainder of the season.
