business news in context, analysis with attitude

CNet reports that Amazon has launched its Dash scanner technology in the UK, allowing consumers to use the and-like device to scan bar codes or use voice recognition to reorder products.

It is a technology that Amazon also tested in the US, but that has seemed to get a lot less push from the company compared to the Dash buttons and Echo-style voice-activated computers.

The story says that the introduction "follows the launch of AmazonFresh last month in the UK, which is currently available for customers in 128 London postcodes. AmazonFresh customers can get a Dash initially at no additional charge with their second AmazonFresh order, but that offer lasts only until 28 August."
