How do you properly locate a phone on the mobile web?

Interesting post by someone on the Lastminute.com Labs blog (i.e. a nameless person, the blog post doesn’t have a name on it) about location based services… or lack of, on the mobile web.

Obviously location is rather important when you’re a travel site creating mobile based services. You want to, for example, know if the customer is roaming or if they’re at home.

What to do? Get ShopQwik

If anyone has any further light to shed on this topic, feel free to chime in – we’d love to hear if there are better solutions!

Have a read…

    What phone do you have !!! ? You should have said... I'm totally here to help you.

    We have hundreds of users a week downloading and connecting and are running at a 99%+ download to connection rate.

    Contact me on MarkTynan@Shopqwik.co.uk and I will sort this out for you....

    As for the Lastminute.com article, I think what they really want to do is have all of the options of a mobile application but have it work on the mobile web... Don't we all !

    I think we may be a few years off before we can do that but its a great thing to aim for.
  • If only I could get ShopQwik working on my phone... Tried and failed more than once :(
