M-Commerce

M-Commerce is a very new field of interaction. It was born out of the increased sophistication and thus computing power available in mobile phones, combined with the increasingly ubiquitous wi-fi access points and geolocation services as opposed to simple phone calls using them.

Thus services of benefit to businesses, phone users, or both, are cropping up. Such M-commerce applications include transactions over the mobile phone via the internet, as well as location-aware customised services – typically augmented reality geolocation adverts and service provision updates on the move.
