Get More Information from iPhone: If Amazon customers want additional search results or more product information while shopping,; they can use Handoff and open the search or product detail page in the Amazon shopping app on their phone.

In March, Amazon introduced Dash to the public, which allows Amazon Prime members to press a button of a specific brand that sends a message via wifi to a customer’s Amazon mobile shopping app confirming that an order has been placed.  Users can pre-determine the quantities they want delivered and get an order notification allowing them to cancel the order.

In addition, a separate wand-like Dash device lets shoppers either scan UPC codes or speak to reorder products.   Among the 18 brands that initially jumped on the Dash bandwagon include Glad, Gillette, Gerber, Cottonelle, Tide (no, not Dash – that’s just available in Europe) and Olay.
