Amazon has built an iPod/iPhone optimized site for the hordes of people who have been buying ipod touches on their site.  It isn't overly functional but it works nicely.  The product scrolling is very cool as well.

You also have the ability to use the traditional browser experience to do your shopping inside the iPhone/iPod.

Amazon detects your browser type and adjusts the browser window accordingly.  They are also offering a generic mobile browser version of their site with considerably less functionality.

To get there, simply point your iPod/iPhone browser to http://www.amazon.com

This was out within a week of the iPhone being live. It is fine for surfing products and doing product searches, but if you want to check order status or do any changes to your account information, it's easier and faster to just go out to their normal site to get the job done. It is nice that they did something like this, but it is hardly "news" worthy and far from being a complete replacement for their main site.

Isn't this very old news? Amazon has had an iPhone site for months.
