Very personal. Secondly, I usually need convincing when I make buys on Amazon. I read 100 reviews of any product before I buy it, especially if it is an electronic one. Another situation I could potentially see myself using this if I was at BestBuy and I was like, I like this, but it seems overpriced. Theoretically I could text message this service, but I am such an impulse buyer and Shipping time usually kills me I think it would be limited to purchases that they didn't have in stock. Okay, I am done here. First of all this is my first comment, and I must say that I LOVE the wording on your site. Very personal.

With the economy in a state of flux and consumer apprehension growing, Text Buy It could end up saving the average Joe shopping at a retail store a significant chunk of change. Shelly Palmer wrote an article the other day on Text Buy It and whats in store for the future of mobile commerce. With 3G right around the corner and users flocking to Blackberry's and iPhone's, it's not too far fetched to think that in the near future consumers will be able to take a picture of a product in a store, upload it to their server and do a search for the best price online. Needless to say, if I was a retailer I'd be shaking in my boots.

Leave it to Amazon to find more ways to let us buy stuff from them easier than anyone else! I agree with you, this is amazingly brilliant.
