Digby.com - Shop from Your BlackBerry

Texas based Digby will make a great companion for your last minute holiday shopping rounds. The mobile shopping app is geared exclusively towards BlackBerry users, and intends to make shopping on the run a much simpler affair. Users are able to browse Digby’s partner sites without fuss as the app takes you directly to the stores’ frontpages. There’s an extensive catalog of name brand items and powerful search capabilities. Users can browse and place orders offline after which they’ll be connected only for the payment transaction which is achieved using a credit card number stored on your BlackBerry. Confirmations and receipts are emailed to you. Digby updates their catalog each night and they give users competitive prices on all the most popular items. This free app can be downloaded directly from the site or via email.

“Digby is a new mobile commerce service for BlackBerry users. It is the easiest way to use your BlackBerry to find, browse and buy popular, name brand products from premier retailers on the Internet. Digby eliminates the challenges of surfing web sites not designed for mobile devices, and our easy-to-use graphical interface makes browsing intuitive and provides quick access to products in categories like Books, Flowers, Music, DVDs, Electronics and many more.

The Digby marketplace is open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, with a catalog updated on a daily basis to keep content fresh and provide you with special products offers.”

Compared to other mobile shopping applications, Digby is much more concise and quick. The Digby graphical interface makes accessing and navigating through sites a much easier and effortless affair. Offline browsing capabilities saves users’ time, and the fact that payment transactions don’t require complicated logins or pins makes it that much more appealing.

When will Digby expand to other handset models? Will they expand their partnerships to include smaller stores/specialty items? How easy is it to modify orders?
