Reviews to make decision
Before buying on major products like a car or a motorbike we obviously grab some reviews of the product and get feedback from other users who are already in experience with the product but with nominal products like shoes, sunglasses and other petty items of your shopping list you cannot do so. With mobile commerce you will be able to extract reviews about the product you want and help you make the right choice.

When boutiques and shops go old fashioned and abandoned, it will be your mobile which will take care of how you make a fashion statement. Mobile commerce will greatly help you with saving money and extracting a better price for products you love. In this combat between mobile commerce and physical stores it will be you the customer which will run away with the benefits.
