mobile banking and retailing.... My company has joined hands with WalMart in India. We are largest telecom operator here.
It is envisased that in the store people will not ask questions about products as it is common in India but Put their mobile next to the product and the mobile will get info for the same. Same User at home can research the product on the internet and check about the same. How does the user keep track . He will not want to keyin information of the research product. All he does it takes pic of the barcode. Basically Mobile - becomes mobile info ; device to pass around temporary data. Universal Product code etc is new to India but scanned image of the product id is desirable both on the mobile site and web site.. It seems in taiwan, people place their mobiles next to the advertising board and mobile captures the barcode- gets stored as "Wish List", buzzes u when u r in the retail store. :) Please it is not futuristic ...... It is going to be project to be done ASAP. Large vendor is contacted for the same; newpaper said.
