I have no idea. I only tried with a single picture to test. Anyone? That seems like a good question to ask Twitter. My guess is that each picture is an individual unit of work for Mechanical Turk, so probably one for each.

if you snap a bunch of images do you get an email for each item or 1 email with all of the items.

Be my guest and mess with it. Not everyone feels guilty about making the Turks scurry around to identify products.

I'll probably use it eventually to keep track of stuff I see IRL, and there's a good chance I'll eventually buy too. So, maybe after a year or so, we'll have an answer.

Amazon rules. Did you see AWS launched free public data sets? Sweet.

You feel guilty about costing them money for testing, but you tweak my interest with thoughts about differing service levels for different users and that makes me want to organize a bunch of users to test that theory out – luckily I am lazy so I won't ever get round to that.

Got to try this App though, I've been an Amazon fan since the 90s too, when they would ship a CD from the US site to me in the UK that wasn't released there yet. I will probably get a lot of my gifts from there anyway.
