Mobile commerce: History, Trade, Technology & Companies

The term mobile commerce was originally coined in 1997 by Kevin Duffey at the launch of the Global Mobile Commerce Forum, to mean "the delivery of electronic commerce capabilities directly into the consumer’s hand, anywhere, via wireless technology." Some choose to think of mobile commerce as meaning "a retail outlet in your customer’s pocket."
