I was always intrigued by the idea of receiving daily/weekly deals directly to my mobile when i go shopping. This Ikea Mobile Kiosk was discovered in one of the stores in Seattle, allowing you to sync your mobile phone through text messages or by scanning barcodes. The synced info includes coupons and other breaking news on weekly sales and special discount offers. I don’t think this technology can replace Ikea’s catalog, but it is an adequate way to update consumers.

Microsoft published the official price for the latest Xbox 360 HD DVD drive, so you can snatch one for 129.99$ though it is a  manufacturer’s suggested retail price only. Therefor, you might find it cheaper on the shelves, but i’m not sure it will hit big time in view of  the HD DVD gloomy situation.
