If a few weeks ago you’d pointed your Pre’s browser to Amazon.com, you were greeted with a less-than-inspiring mobile site that felt like it would have been more at home on a Treo than in the advanced WebKit-based browser shipping with webOS. Thankfully, that’s changed, and the new Amazon.com mobile site runs in a manner that’s much more cohesive than what you’re used to from the full site.
The front page greets you with drop down menus for the stuff that smartphone users are bound to be looking for on Amazon: books, entertainment, and gadgets, as well as a link to take you to similar menus for eleven major categories. Every item page has been packed with much of the info you’re used to from the full site, including options to add to your shopping cart or wish list, descriptions, reviews good and bad, and full image galleries when available. Every single page also provides one-tap access to your cart, wish list, account, 1-Click settings, and Amazon’s full site should you so desire it.
All together, it’s a welcome aesthetic and functional refresh from the mobile Amazon.com of old. And is it just us, or does it seem to run faster too? Even better.
