According to Adage.com, phone applications, specifically those for the iPhone, are revolutionizing the way people are shopping (http://adage.com/digital/article?article_id=142318). Consumers can use their phones to compare prices, research products, read product reviews, find coupons and much more, all from their cell phones!
Although these applications are helpful, fun, and new, there should be concerns: are they secure? What types of protection is in place on cell phones to prevent theft of sensitive information? Are cell phones even capable of protecting its users from such threats?
These are a few questions I had regarding the applications, as I am sure that some day someone with nothing to do, and only change in their pockets will find way to steal others' information and use it for their gain. Only time will tell.
