Very interesting, don't know if I'd come back to it after a couple of uses. Not sure if it will revolutionise online shopping, but maybe it's one step closer to Minority Report-style interfaces. I can also see this working quite well on the iPhone and game console/TV displays.

How pretty :) The cooliris plugin (http://www.cooliris.com/) for firefox/IE has done a similar thing for a long time though....

I saw shopping has been added to Cooliris (now that's how to make browsing visually stunning). Looks similiar, but no music or video when you select dvd or cd

Great interface. These style is only going to get better until it is revolutionised again. Anything that gets us away from the typical PC / MAC way of viewing content and more into how we really want to see things is a huge improvement.

It is all about the user / consumer, not the platform.

It's in flash, that automatically makes it bad. For a start, if you find something you like the look of you can't copy and paste the title without going through to amazon's product page. It also means none of the usual browser shortcuts work either.

There are also numerous problems with it right now like some of the items having unreadable titles (books especially) and no way to see what format the games are for or any way to choose one of those formats before going to the product page.

So, bad implementation and bugs aside, is it a good idea? Well it's essentially just a release calender like other sites have had for years with the genres mixed together and some bestseller lists thrown in. I think it could be useful for some people as it is, but I'd like some way to exclude the catagories I'm not interested in (movies, TV and music) and perhaps organise it a bit more before I'd find it useful.

I have to echo Xiphias' comments. Pretty, not practical.
