Amazon says that Dash is available for free between today and August 28th, as long as you complete two Amazon Fresh orders. It you don't, it'll cost £35. It operates much like a dictaphone, storing your orders as you speak into its built-in microphone, while its LED scanner helps add items that either aren't recognised or hard to describe.

With the Dash scanner now available, it'll probably only be a matter of time until Amazon brings its super-simple Dash Button across the pond. The Dash buttons are small plastic, er, buttons that are pre-programmed to order a certain brand name item. In the US, over 100 brands -- including Huggies, Energizer, Red Bull, Starbucks Samsung -- are already on board, but you can bet the retailer is already in talks with UK-centric companies.
