The mySimon shopping bot service this week will be able to put the power of e-commerce in the palms of consumers’ hands, literally.
MySimon, which offers automated online comparison shopping with its Virtual Learning Agent technology, has inked a deal with 3Com subsidiary U.S. Palm Computing to embed a special version of the VLA into 3Com’s Palm VII handheld electronic organizer, which starts shipping today in the New York market only.
