Amazon’s experimental interface: WindowShop
A few months back I blogged about a tech demo that made browsing Amazon more shop-like. It seems Amazon spotted it too, because its new WindowShop interface does much the same thing.
I’m not sure it’s actually useful (at least on a PC – it would probably make more sense on a TV), but it does look pretty.

God, that’s horrible. And, I can see it making my life a misery.

That’s pretty cool stuff. I agree it’s not the best interface for a PC, but can you imagine the Amazon channel on the Wii/XBox/PS3 or a plugin for AppleTV?

I’m with Tony. That’s fucking awful. And not pretty, either.

My vote is clever, but ultimately pointless.
