Russell has reviewed a mobile shopping Java app — Reporo. The idea behind the application is as a portal to various bricks-and-mortar and online shops… the application is free to use and Reporo gets a portion of sales. Russell thought the service worked pretty well, although he was doubtful that it will take off.
It may be successful in the same way mobile music downloads may be successful… people eager to make impulse buys.
