Simply Tap 'mobile shopping' app is launched by The Mobile Money Network

The Mobile Money Network has launched its ‘Simply Tap’ shopping application for Android and Apple devices. Customers who set up a Simply Tap account (including payment details) can then buy products just by entering a short code into the app. The sale is then confirmed, payment is taken and the product is delivered to the customer’s chosen address.

Simply Tap codes can be used in any kind of advertising, from web ads to outdoor posters, without the retailer needing to create their own online payment process. Retailers can offer promotional discounts and special offers, with £10 cashback currently available on some purchases.

Participating retailers include Best Buy and the Carphone Warehouse - which were involved in setting up the joint venture - along with Thorntons, Pretty Green, Goldsmiths, moreTvicar.com and WOWee One.

The Mobile Money Network was formed in November 2010 by Monitise plc, Best Buy Europe and Charles Dunstone.

There have been some really cool shopping app recommendations over the past couple of days...I ended
up downloading the 'Should I Buy It?' app someone recommended and it is awesome! I was shopping for
shoes and was able to quickly share them with my friends to see what they thought of them. Here is
the link again to download: bit.ly/sibifm33

Predictions for 2016: Network Function Virtualisation, 4G throttling and video calling

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

Kapture review: the audio-recording wristband

Kapture review: the audio-recording wristband

A 'recording watch' that links to your smartphone

Mark Bridge writes:

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.

Making mobile websites work better

Making mobile websites work better

Device detection and responsive design explained

Mark Bridge writes:

James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long. When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?
