Tesco has decided to implement this in order to cash in on the rise of smartphone users and has set up 10 screens in the airport's departure lounge with images of its most popular products. This echoes the activity they ran in Korea turning tube stations into virtual stores. (http://bit.ly/Tjv8pZ)

Smart Wallet comes to Android




Lemon has released an Android version of their Mobile Wallet together with a clever "Lemon Business" offering. The company claims that since its Wallet launch just last month, over two million customers have used Lemon's mobile wallet platform and over half a million credit cards have been scanned.

With Lemon, business users can submit expenses and receipts directly to their employer for reimbursement through the app, which the company says is secure and trackable. It believes it is targeting a market ignored by other mobile payment platforms through the addition of expenses.
