By adding the sleek, clip-on mophie marketplace card reader, merchants can save time by securely swiping credit cards instead of entering numbers by hand. After swiping the card, data is immediately encrypted using Intuit's industry-standard security methods.

Customers authorize the payment by signing their name on the iPhone touch screen. The merchant can then send them an e-mail or text receipt. GoPayment processes the credit card within seconds and funds are deposited into the businesses' bank account.

An additional option lets businesses integrate GoPayment with QuickBooks Mac to easily and quickly match the right customer and invoice in QuickBooks.

The business will use an open platform by combining DOCOMO's existing content-distribution and payment systems with DNP's planned hybrid digital/physical bookstores.

Initially targeting DOCOMO customers, the business will sell e-books via a mobile bookstore that users will access with DOCOMO wireless devices, including mobile phones, smartphones, tablet computers and e-book readers. The store will launch with more than 100,000 titles, including electronic books, manga comics, magazines and newspapers.

DOCOMO and DNP also are discussing the possible formation of a joint-venture company, collaborations with publishers and mobile-device manufacturers, and expansion into overseas markets.

DNP, one of Japan's largest comprehensive printing companies, revealed last month its plan for a hybrid digital/physical bookstore system, which will combine the newly announced mobile store for e-books, the DNP group's existing 'bk1' online store for printed books and physical bookstore chains in the DNP group, including Maruzen, JUNKUDO and Bunkyodo.

Yoshinobu Noma, Senior Executive Vice President & COO of Kodansha Ltd., said: 'We expect this alliance, which encompasses a vast number of physical bookstores as well as Japan's largest mobile operator in terms of customers, will play a major role in the development of Japan's e-book market.'

Masahiro Oga, President and Chief Executive Officer of Shogakukan Inc., said: 'By effectively fusing the unique qualities of the paper and digital worlds, we expect this all-new service will contribute to the advancement of text-based culture and create new opportunities for readers to discover books.'

Lee Kyu Hong, President of LG Electronics Japan Inc., said: 'The e-book business is attracting significant international attention. With Japanese industry leaders taking this initiative, we expect the market for this new business to grow.'

Takemitsu Kunio, Ph.D., Senior Vice President and Member of the Board of NEC Corporation, said: 'The expansion of e-publishing will advance the digitization of books and other types of content, and also lead to new user experiences and enhanced convenience. NEC welcomes the move.'

Hongsik Cho, Executive Vice President of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., said: 'We expect the announced e-publishing business to further enrich book and magazine culture and enhance users' convenience.

bigmouthmedia reveals most UK brands don’t understand the value of mobile visitors

A bigmouthmedia survey has revealed that more than three quarters of the UK's big brands do not understand the value of a visitor via mobile compared to other digital channels

The research, which polled the views of key decision makers at a raft of leading UK companies, shows that despite a significant 89.2% of respondents sharing the belief that mobile marketing will become increasingly important over the next 12 months, very few have fully embraced the channel. Reflecting the uncertainty with which many businesses regard the emerging the field, 70.3% of those surveyed currently don't have any engagement with mobile marketing at all.

"We are at a critical point in the evolution of mobile marketing. A growing group of organisations are starting to derive competitive advantage from their early mover status in the channel, yet the vast majority of companies have yet to gauge the impact it is likely to have on their business," said Simon Heyes, Head of International Sales Operations at Bigmouthmedia.

"There are no benefits to be derived from being slow on the uptake. With the mobile channel set to become increasingly influential over the next few years, companies need to move now, engage with the medium and start building the campaigns that are going to keep them ahead of the game."

Despite an apparent lack of engagement with the channel the research revealed a keen awareness of the potential advantages, with 75.7% of respondents citing increased brand awareness as the main benefit of undertaking mobile marketing, and 67.6% believing increased customer engagement to also be a major benefit. Over 60% also believed that increased traffic, leads and sales were also a major driver.

Bigmouthmedia's survey - conducted amongst a large group of large and medium sized enterprises - showed that just 5.4% companies describe themselves as being "heavily involved" in mobile marketing at the current time. Another statistic to emerge is that while they considered the channel increasingly influential, 75% of the respondents claimed not to know the relative value of a visitor from mobile compared to other channels.

"What is clear from our research is that while the vast majority of businesses accept that mobile is going to become a critical part of the marketing mix, there is a great deal of uncertainty over how to approach the channel, and in particular how to get buy in from the wider organisation. Companies know they need to get on board the mobile bandwagon, but a lack of clear understanding is holding many back from exploiting its potential," said Heyes.

Another recent forecast from Morgan Stanley found that at the rate its usage is accelerating, mobile internet use will overtake desktop internet use by 2015.

'In many ways the UK is behind many other markets when it comes to mobile adoption, with territories like Japan, the Philippines and Thailand already using mobile internet services much more than their European counterparts. In many organisations mobile has taken a back seat because the focus is still on mainstream digital strategy, but British companies can't afford to make the same mistakes they did with the social media revolution, which commerce has only just got to grips with after three long years. This time, the winners will be those who are quickest off the mark," added Heyes.

Real Estate Applications For Mobile Phones Enhance Home Buying Says Cedar Park JB Goodwin Agent Rocky Breon

There are a number of new applications available for mobile phones that have to do with the real estate industry. JB Goodwin Real Estate Agent Rocky Breon says, along with a professional realtor, these apps can aid in the home buying process.

The iPhone and other mobile devices are changing the landscape of real estate. JB Goodwin Realtor Rocky Breon says some applications for the phones are helpful, but will not replace a real live estate agent.

'The rollout of new iPhone mobile apps out on the market can really empower and add to a homebuyer's experience,' says Breon. 'They can complement the process when a person also uses a qualified real estate agent.'

A number of the applications are free, such as Zillow Real Estate Search. With this app, a potential homebuyer can find homes for sale or rent as they walk or drive through a particular neighborhood. The application lets an individual filter search results by price, number of bedrooms, and more, and people can also save their searches and email or share homes on Facebook and Twitter.

'This can be a helpful tool for people curious about what is available in a certain area,' Breon said.

Other iPhone real estate applications that aid in a home search are those that calculate the financial end of home buying or renting. While it costs a couple of bucks, Home Buying Power lets the consumer find out what they can afford to buy and how much their mortgage will be.

For those individuals unfamiliar with the real estate world, the app Dictionary of Real Estate Terms by Intersog can help explain the industry jargon. The user can browse terms such as absentee owner to mortgage rate to gain a better understanding of the lingo.

'For someone who's buying their first home and wants to be more informed, an application that defines some of the terms can be invaluable,' Breon add. 'After all, buying a house is one of life's most important decisions so it's vital that a someone goes into it with knowledge of the basic vocabulary.'

Even with all the best technology, Breon says, 'no application for a phone can ever take the place of an experienced real estate agent.'

'These applications for our mobile devices are meant to enhance a homebuyer's experience, but people still need a competent real estate agent to represent their interests and negotiate on behalf,' Breon concludes.

About Rocky Breon:
Rocky Breon is a JB Goodwin realtor with over 30 years of experience who helps families buy and sell homes in Austin, Cedar Park and Leander, Texas.

Tieto, Nokia and Nordea host Mobey Forum event in Helsinki

Tieto, together with Nokia and Nordea, will host Mobey Forum's 10th anniversary member meeting in Helsinki on 17 - 18 June. At the meeting, 120 international Mobey Forum delegates from leading organizations within the mobile financial services market will discuss the future of mobile payments.

Mobey Forum is the global leader in defining a sustainable and prosperous mobile financial services ecosystem. Established in 2000, it brings together leading financial institutions, mobile network operators, mobile handset manufacturers, payment processors and vendors, committed to accelerating the mass-market deployment of user-friendly mobile financial services by promoting open and secure technology standards.

At the Mobey Forum meeting, Tieto's key spokespeople will present and lead discussion on the latest developments in a number of areas:

* The natural payment monopoly for banks is over! Banks are being challenged to adjust to the new digital economy. As money and payments are digital - changing consumer behavior will drive new payment business models and innovations centered around real-time digital payments. New players are entering the payment ecosystem - media houses open their own micropayment services and the power of social media and crowd funding will be studied by Business Advisor Johan Löfmark.
* The future of payments: From payments to extended payments in Real Time Economy, halving enterprise administrative costs and mobile devices as omnipresent multipurpose tools, presented by Head of Executive Advisors Bo Harald.
* Public transportation goes mobile: Future payment methods in mass transportation; new mobile services in public transportation, including the Finnish case study, presented by Vice President Jukka Mannermaa.

Tieto's Director, Offering Development Ville Sointu was one of the key contributors to the Mobey Forum "Mobile Remote Payments White Paper" which will be released during the Helsinki meeting. The white paper clarifies industry guidelines and best practices for mobile remote payment services and suggests that the mobile phone number rather than any other specific code or identifier, should be used to identify payer and payee in mobile remote payment transactions. The Mobey Forum believes that using the mobile phone number will provide user convenience, ensure privacy and security of payments information and facilitate interoperability across stakeholders.
