The current environment will slow down more than one mobile commerce experiments. By the same token, smart retailers like Amazon will leverage technology to grab market share from other retailers.

The market for mobile commerce might still be relatively small, but the impact of mobile apps and services in the hands of a critical mass of smart phone users will be felt by retailers in the 2009 Holiday season.

Could the economic downturn blight planned mCommerce efforts? Or, can we expect the more forward looking retailers seeing this as a growth potential and an opportunity to buck the trend?

Gartner are also working on similar research, though what I've seen, they believe the market for mCommerce is still relatively small.

In any case, here's hoping this is the year that retailers grab mobile commerce with both hands!

That's an interesting idea. So you could get an idea of how close
your taste is to that of Epitonic, or Tiny Mix Tapes, or whatever?

Thanks for checking in. As you gather more data about people's tastes, it would also be terrific - as a user - to know how close my tastes are to those of the "human" who made a particular recommendation. Good luck!

Thanks so much for the write-up of the perceptron. I absolutely love your idea about allowing users to control the relative weights of different sources. I'm totally going to look into it.
