“Multimedia retailer” (whatever that means) QVC is “going iPhone.” The dedicated application is designed to enable iPhone and iPod Touch users to shop QVC anywhere. You can view the “Today’s Special Value” and “One Time Only Value” offers, as well as shop for QVC’s live show through the “Current Item On-Air” and “Items Recently On-Air” features. All this (content purchases) is conducted in a fast, seamless manner, using “Speed Buy” feature.
But QVC app’s feature set doesn’t stop there. The “sharing element” is built inside, hence you can share products via e-mail with friends, or remind yourself about some particular item to check it out again at some later date. Search capability is also on board, which is a must-have when you have about 95,000 items to choose from, like QVC does. Finally, each item has its own image (or more), along with general information, sizing and color swatches.
As for the pricing, the QVC App is available for free and you can grab it from here (iTunes link).

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
