HP Committed to M-Commerce Solutions for the Enterprise

In anticipation that 3G networks, with their promise of enhanced performance and functionality, will ignite the m-commerce market, Hewlett-Packard has launched its Mobile Enterprise E-Commerce Solution, or frequently referred to the mobile e-services package, to ensure that enterprises will be ready to reap the m-commerce rewards.

Mobileinfo Comments and Advisory: While we are impressed by HP's mobile initiatives of e-bazaar and related services, we also believe that it will take a while before this takes off. You need multiple device support (not just HP devices), you need multiple network support (something HP is silent about. HP's vision of Mobile commerce is good but infrastructure support is incomplete and HP-centric. Their offer to others to adopt HP's standard as industry-standard may not succeed.
