Customers also have the option to leave Video Mail using Qik when someone is unavailable.

Kindle for Android: This application lets customers shop for hundreds of thousands of books in the Kindle Store, including New York Times® Best Sellers and new releases from $9.99.  Using Amazon's Whispersync technology, customers can automatically synchronize the last page read, bookmarks, annotations, and more across multiple devices.
