DivaVillage Sweepstakes Offers Chance to Win Palm TX Device with Earthcomber’s Where to Wear Shopping Guides in Time for Holiday Shopping Season

Chicago (MobilityNewswire) November 29, 2006 -- Divas across the U.S. are encouraged to enter a sweepstakes at DivaVillage.com tomorrow, November 30, 2006, for a chance to win a Palm TX device loaded with Where to Wear digital shopping guides.

The combination of the Palm TX and Where to Wear shopping guides comes just in time for the hectic holiday shopping season and will provide the winner of the sweepstakes with a high-tech electronic guide for the nation’s top shopping meccas. The Where to Wear shopping guide, powered by Earthcomber’s location-aware mobile mapping and content technology, scans stores in the vicinity and reports which ones have hits on the user’s shopping list.

The Palm TX handheld given away in the DivaVillage sweepstakes offers the latest in mobile technology, featuring Wi-Fi, Bluetooth wireless technologies, and a high-resolution 320x480 color screen.

Earthcomber’s digital version of the Where to Wear shopping guides combine location-based technology and mapping along with a perpetual automatic comb of the surroundings for each individual’s personal shopping list as the person moves around a city.

“Power shoppers don’t need x-ray vision, telepathy and the ability to leap tall department stores in a single bound to find everything they want on a shopping trip,” said Jill Fairchild, founder of Where to Wear and daughter of fashion publishing mogul John Fairchild. “With a few taps on your handheld, our digital shopping guides comb the surrounding area—as far as you tell it to look—for businesses that are a spot-on match to your wish list.”

Anyone can enter the sweepstakes for a chance to win the Palm TX with the pre-installed Where to Wear shopping guides at www.divavillage.com/sweepstakes.php. Information on purchasing Where to Wear guides for Palm OS or Windows Mobile handhelds can be found at www.earthcomber.com. Shopping guides are available for New York City, Florida, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Each Where to Wear guide costs $9.95.

How Good A Shopper Am I? Conceptualizing Teenage Girls' Perceived Shopping Competence
In order to develop a better understanding of teen shoppers, who represent the most highly sought after market segment in the United States (ICR 2005), it is important to explore teens' own perceptions about shopping, placing specific emphasis on their own perceived competencies as shoppers.

Online Shopping In The UK
Computers have been in use in the United Kingdom for as long as they have been used in other parts of the world but online shopping is still not the phenomenon that it is in the United States, where more than half of the population has shopped online. This is not to say that Britons do not shop online, just that they don?t use online shopping quite as much. They still prefer to shop in shops on the high street and have some tea afterwards or go to outdoor markets for fish and produce. Still, the convenience of online shopping has its allure and there are a number of attractive purveyors of all sorts of goods who will deliver the goods, so to speak, for orders placed online.
