The Amazon App is now available in the iPhone store. It's a pretty amazing app with a full end to end polished shopping experience and a new feature, slightly strange, called Amazon Remembers.
Quoted: Amazon Mobile for iPhone. Buy millions of products from your iPhone or iPod touch.

Jeff Bezos profile in U.S. News and World Report.
Quoted: Cultures, for better or worse, are very stable. When new people come into the company, some may self-select out of it. Others opt in. Over time, you build up this momentum around a culture that is self-perpetuating.
