Barnes & Noble moves to the Blackberry!
Quote:
Barnes & Noble has launched a mobile storefront for BlackBerry smartphones. Barnes&Nobile.com has partnered with Digby, a mobile commerce service provider, to establish the "Barnes & Noble Storefront" for all current Research In Motion BlackBerry smartphone users, effective immediately. The Barnes & Noble.com Storefront is updated on a daily basis to keep content fresh and features new releases, bestsellers, and special promotions.

I don't think they will be selling ebooks or MP3s. I wonder why they decided to ignore the potential market .

I think it is supposed to be http://www.barnesandnoble.com, the main website. I found the original press release and they don't mention a special site.

They're partnering with Digby. Digby provides the browsing application as a free download.

Oh, I get it now. You have to isnallt this Digby program that's used to shop the B&N store for content that you can only use with your Blackberry running this Digby software.

What a way to miss the boat for B&N.

Yeah. It's just a way to make it easier for people to shop with the Blackberry. As I read it, you're still buying pbooks. You're just placing the order via the Blackberry. Ooooh.

So it's not for getting content onto the Blackberry. Well, I guess it's ok then.
