Still cutting off coupons from newspaper and DMs ? Just when you saw a great deal but then found out the sales was over 2 days ago?! Just bought your new PC and found out it is much cheaper if you just buy it from another shop ?! The days of clipping coupons may be over, but the days of receiving them on your mobile phone are just beginning in earnest. With your mobile phone, you can do price checking without a PC. All these services and functions bring a new definition for “Shop by Phone�, for the 15th MobileMonday Taipei event, we invited two new mobile service companies to talk about their new service for mobile shopping. Vpon will introduce us their new mobile coupon services, how users can download and use their mobile phone as coupons to save and get free gifts.

Steve Follmer consulted in Silicon Valley for many years, where he co-founded live365.com. He is currently between startups and analyzing opportunities in the mobile space. Steve holds a BSE degree from Princeton University.

 

ABI Research projects that worldwide shipments of global positioning system (GPS) enabled mobile phones will reach 550 million units in 2012, up from 240 million units in 2008, representing handset revenue generation growing from $50 billion to $100 billion over that time, with installed base penetration approaching 40%. Who will seize the opportunity this creates?

On the 14th MobileMonday Taipei, we invited presentations from three location-based services providers: jMap.cc , Cogini and GPSStar, discussed how LBS is relevant to our daily life, the innovation they will bring to users, and the value LBS provides.

This industry has been simmering along for years, confronting a chicken-and-egg dilemma, no hardware no solutions, no solutions no hardware. But these presentations made clear that we’re long past the tipping point. To read the complete 14th MobileMonday Taipei event report written by Mr. Steve Follmer, please click here.
