Under the slogan “Shopping Made Simple”, Amazon launches Amazon Dash,
a small hi-tech wand that aims to make shopping more convenient. The
new product is about the size of a remote control, and it features both a
microphone and a bar-code scanner, which allows users to either speak
the name of the product they need or scan its bar code. With a simple
setup, Dash connects to your Wi-Fi network and from here on registers
what you need.
According to the producers, the gizmo helps buyers choose from over 500
000 products, ranging from fresh grocery and local products to
electronics. The new device works with AmazonFresh,
the company’s delivery service that currently only operates in Southern
California, San Francisco and Seattle. If you would like to give Amazon
Dash a try, you can sign up
to receive a free version. We’ve also uploaded the presentation video
below. Have a look and feel free to share your thoughts on this new
Wi-Fi shopping system !
