Amazon launches iPhone appYesterday

It's becoming a full time job to keep up with all the amazing new iPhone apps. Here's another one worthy of note from Amazon.com.

According to The New York Times, Amazon.com is offering a new iPhone app today called Amazon Mobile with an unusual feature, still experimental.

The feature, Amazon Remembers, is a tool lets users take a photograph of any product they see in the real world. The photos are then uploaded to Amazon and turned over to the far-flung freelance workers in Amazon’s Mechanical Turk program, who will try to match them with products for sale on Amazon.com.

Joost gets back on our radar with iPhone appDecember 1

Friday, Joost released an iPhone app that lets users stream and watch any of Joost's 46,000-plus videos for free. News.com reports with a rave review.

Say what you will about Joost's library of content, the concept behind this app is fantastic. The ability to stream a movie, TV show, or other piece of video content on the go is great. I know the technology is nothing revolutionary--after all the iPhone has had a YouTube app, complete with streaming video, since the device launched. Even given that, when you load up Men in Black on Joost, it just feels like a whole different ballgame. This isn't a video of a dog on a skateboard anymore.

This is real, Hollywood-produced content, delivered to your phone, for free.
