How did mobile effect Black Friday shopping? - Mobile Commerce Daily - Multichannel ret... - 0 views

  • “A lot of consumers used mobile as a price-comparison shopping tool—mobile price-comparison and geolocation features show promise for retailers.”
  • The mobile-phone transaction increase supports the assertion that buyers shopping at brick-and-mortar stores were price-checking products with their mobile phones and then buying items wherever they were least expensive.

Reinvigorating Microsoft's mobile strategy | Between the Lines | ZDNet.com - 0 views

  • If Microsoft is looking for a differentiating feature for a mobile platform, promoting .NET makes a heck of a lot of sense…particularly if Silverlight is supported in the next version of Windows Mobile (which based on this year’s PDC, seems to be turning into a development platform in its own right).
  • XBOX is confusingly closed. For the only true TV-attached device in the Microsoft product catalog, it is perplexing to me that XBOX isn’t trying to encourage third-party developers to make non-game network-capable apps that run on the XBOX (well, unless you are Netflix, Facebook, Twitter, or another “big” company).

ShopSavvy - "a shopping tool, not just a price look up" : -4G Trends- - 0 views

  • According to Muse, ShopSavvy currently boasts over 3 million users who are on average performing 26 product scans per month.  These are impressive statistics when you consider that the application is available for only one platform at the moment.  But another interesting statistic, especially for retailers, is that 91% of scans are performed by users who are in a store and in “buy mode”.  
  • The application itself is compelling enough to the current crowd of Android owners - 75% of them have installed and used ShopSavvy.

Droid vs. iPhone: Them's fightin' words: Consumer Reports Electronics Blog - 0 views

  • Droid vs. iPhone: Them's fightin' words
  • A couple of parting observations about the passion of the comments about this phone: They suggest the Droid has quickly emerged as the phone around which iPhone critics have coalesced. It's emerging as the preeminent un-iPhone or even anti-iPhone. The comments are further evidence that no community of observers takes a closer and more critical interest in how we test and assess than smart-phone fans. We've experienced that in the past, when we updated the methodology and presentation of our smart-phone Ratings (available to subscribers) in response to the changing nature of these devices.

First iPhone, now Droid. Who needs Windows? | Business Tech - CNET News - 0 views

  • If the iPhone didn't finish off Windows Mobile in the smartphone market, the Motorola Droid may. Windows Mobile is losing the last vestiges of its mojo
  • In August, according to AdMob, Windows Mobile had only a 4 percent share of the mobile OS market worldwide, down from 7 percent in February
  • So the Droid may not be the iPhone killer but rather the Windows Mobile slayer. Microsoft, of course, will always have the unassailable PC franchise. But, wait, isn't Android coming to Netbooks next year? Maybe the real battle royal for Microsoft is yet to come.

Study Finds Social Media is Actually Social - 0 views

  • According to a new study from Pew Internet and American Life Project, technology does not lead to social isolation, as many often suspected. Instead, researchers found that online participation and mobile phone usage leads to people having larger and more diverse core discussion networks.
  • On average, a person spends 195 days of the year having mobile phone contact with others, but face-to-face interactions occur on about 210 days per year.
  • In addition, mobile users have around 15% more family members with whom they can discuss important matters and tend to have 25% more core network members who are not family members. Overall, those who use mobile phones have core networks that are 12% larger than those who don't.

Google App Engine module - 0 views

  • Google provides a Java version of his App Engine solution (GAE). It is a PaaS (Platform as a Service) solution that offers massive and flexible scalability for your Web applications by hosting them on the Google cloud (based on Google computing infrastructure). For more details, you can read our blog post with the official announce. Due to the restrictions of the GAE, we need to provide an adaptation of Restlet for this environment. GAE is based on Java 6, with a restricted list of APIs. See GAE developers documentation for details.
