What if we hosted in-store events in late October to come in to stores and create Wish Lists? All stores should have QR Codes on facttags by then. Customers could use our mobile apps to capture items to a wishlist and then share them with friends/family. The local store pages could display an aggregation of the most popular items added to wish lists by customers.

Sorry for the trouble. We are working on an update for iOS4. All should be groovy after that.
More cool stuff is coming.
Cheers,

Reader is in the app. QR Codes will begin to appear in stores and inserts soon.

Agreed. :-)
Cool idea.

Posted 5 months ago in response to Mobile Checkout App
We really like the idea of mobile checkout in-store and it has been on our radar for months. There are lots of systems and datasets that need to be lined up to make this work anywhere that isn't dotcom, mdot, or a Best Buy cash register. We are getting those systems put together. It's a long process.
Nice call out on the NFC idea. I think it actually stands for Near Field Communication (if we're talking about the same technology).
Since the adoption of NFC on any mass scale in the US is likely a year away, we are considering other options that would deliver this capability sooner.
You can read more about NFC here:

Posted 9 months ago in response to iPhone Application Ideas
OPB,
Wow! First of all, thank you for putting so much time and thought into the future of our iPhone application. Reading some of your post out loud with others who work on our mobile presence made us say, "get out of our heads." We are thinking about the same future features. You are helping us to affirm some of the direction we intend to go.
We just released a new version to the AppStore and it is under review by Apple. If we pass muster, you should see an update in the next week or so.
Some of your suggestions are in that release. Many more are coming. Our iPhone app is in constant development and we hope to release updates with improved features on a frequent basis.
Please keep the suggestions coming.
Cheers,
Cam

I know the guy at Grainger that helped set that up at Target. Smart move on Target's part.

Posted 11 months ago in response to A Gift Registry
On both counts... cool. We are just beginning to implement new site functionality to allow the merging of very similar/identical ideas.
As for a gift registry, Best Buy built a universal gift registry that has had limited press so far. We'd love to hear your comments: http://www.giftag.com

Posted 23 days ago in response to why iphone app released first.
Thanks for these comments - I'll try to address them.
Flag as inappropriateFirst, it is our goal to make the features and functions similar between the iPhone and Android core applications while taking advantage of individual differences between the operating systems and hardware. We are constantly working to add features and improvements on both platforms. The two applications have never been in exact sync with each other since we started building on iPhone nearly a year before we started building for Android.
It is our intention to add the same Reward Zone features to our Android application as we have recently added to iPhone. We have a few other juicy updates coming first.
