Amazon has unveiled a button that can re-order your commonly-used household products. And they can be delivered in as little as one hour, if you live in one of six cities where Amazon is also testing a new ultra-speed delivery service! "Since launching, we've seen high demand on everything from essentials like water and paper towels to more surprising deliveries like getting a customer a hard-to-find, top-selling toy in 23 minutes," says one Amazon VP of their "Prime Now" service. And the Amazon Dash button lets you set up recurring orders which can be triggered whenever you press a small real-world button you keep somewhere in your house (which then places that order over your Wi-Fi network).
