Good news for all the Android users out there is that Amazon has launched an app for the Android platform that will allow you do mobile shopping right through your Android phone, receive new offers or even track your purchases.

Much like the Amazon app for iPhone and Blackberry, this app for Android offers pretty much the same features.

• Fast: Shop over 40 product categories from Amazon
• Convenient: Access your Amazon account, wish-list, cart, payment and shipping details and much more.
• Secure: All orders placed through the app are processed by Amazon's secured servers.

The app even lets you make 1-click purchases and the most interesting of all, you can search for a product on Amazon by taking a snapshot of its barcode and the app will search through the Amazon catalogue.

The app can be downloaded for free from the Android App Market.
