Gumiyo.com - Extending the Online Marketplace to Mobile Phones

The first mobile-to-mobile buyers and sellers e-commerce platform on the net, Gumiyo´s goal is to connect you instantly, no matter where your location, to the goods you need or to the people who want what you´ve got to sell. You can use Gumiyo in three simple steps. Take your camera phone and capture the item, attach in a multimedia text message, then send it to Gumiyo and wait for the replies to start flowin in to your inbox. Once you´ve found a taker, message STOP and you´re done! If you are searching for an item but can´t find an ad which supplies it, Gumiyo will send you an alert when something has come up. The service is completely free (for now) except what you will pay for the text message, and if you´ve got unlimited text messaging, this won´t cost you any extra.

“Gumiyo is the first end-to-end mobile commerce platform that allows users to easily publish and search classified ads entirely from mobile phones and immediately connects live buyers and live sellers.”

How much will the service charge, per text or a monthly fee? They mentioned that the ads would be going to Google, Froogle, and Oogle, but will it also be sent to the big ecommerce guys at eBay? How is online bidding integrated to the service? Do you have to download any software to your mobile?
