Design Solution:
A context-driven shopping interface for a handheld computer. The design takes analogies from traditional shopping and adapts them into the interface. Searching, product comparison, merchant comparison (price and distance), payment, pickup or delivery options, and regular product purchases are all integrated into the interface. Challenges that were identified are contextually searching merchants and products, a non-captive audience, currency, and navigation.

Result:
Completing a small-scale design of a handheld interface for the emerging technologies provides a sense of possible applications for the new shopping medium. The application design identifies possible advantages and disadvantages of wireless online shopping as well as future challenges and conceptual hurdles to product adoption.
