Fashion retailer Lyle & Scott launched its first mobile commerce site last week.
With so many retailers launching iPhone apps, it's refreshing that one has decided to move into mobile commerce with a website.
I've been trying the site out...

While plenty of US retailers have mobile commerce sites or apps, it seems those in the UK have been slower to move into mobile.
I covered this topic last year, and could only think of three m-commerce sites in the UK, two of which were Amazon and eBay. There are now a few more, but a lot of big names are yet to move into mobile commerce.
Strong growth is predicted for the mobile commerce market, and there are plenty of reasons why a mobile commerce site (or app) can benefit retailers. I've been listing the UK retailers with a mobile presence...

It's going to be the year of mobile...again. Sure, go ahead and yawn (or laugh). We've heard it all before, right? But smartphone adoption is through the roof, and cutting-edge technologies are gaining some real traction.

One trend I've noticed lately is that the few UK retailers that have launched mobile commerce services have opted to do this via mobile apps rather than a mobile website. Both Next and Net-A-Porter have the app, but not the mobile site.

Restaurant chain Wagamama has launched an iPhone app for ordering from its restaurants, the first app of its kind in the UK.
In the US, Burger King and Pizza Hut have both managed to drive incremental sales through ordering apps, so perhaps a Wagamama app could work. I've been trying it out...
