If real...  looks pretty cool.

Put a button near the laundry detergent, getting low?  Press the button and it queues up an order on your smart phone for you to finish out at your convenience.  You can pick style, quantity, and etc in the app.

Obvious objection that is already debunked:  My 2 year old presses the button 100 times, that'ts going to suck - lol.  Nope, it only queues the item up once, subsequent button presses do nothing.  further, it does not order the item, you do that in an app.

It could be an april fools joke, but that is tomorrow and it sounds too feasible.

Thats actually pretty awesome. Especially how it can be programmed to different products. Individual button to place next to fairly stationary items like detergent is cool.

Next up, make a shopping list panel. Multiple programmable buttons, dry erase space for identification of the button, magnetized to live on the fridge. Or have multiples to place in different areas, like one for the kitchen and one for the bathroom.  Bees knees.

I guess you can configure it how you want, but it would make more sense if it just added the item to a shopping list or shopping cart in your account, instead of being phone-centric. Then, you just make the purchase on whichever device you wanted to.

I'm picturing some one night stand pickup artist type guy reaching over to his condom bowl on the nightstand, finding it empty, hitting the Amazon Dash button for Trojans, and a quad copter drone flying in the bedroom window, dropping a box on the bed then flying out again.
