Every company has an ambition, and Palm s is nothing less than to revolutionize retailing.
Yankowski plugs Palm's eWallet Carl Yankowski, CEO, Palm Palm CEO Carl Yankowski unveiled eWallet at the Computer Electronics Show on Saturday, an upcoming feature that will allow Palm users to buy products and services via their handhelds. Through an alliance with Ingenico, Visa and Hewlett-Packard subsidiary VeriFone, eWallet will let consumers conduct secure purchases by beaming personal information through the infrared port found on most Palms. VeriFone will also ensure that the payments are secure. The two-way infrared communication between the device and the Ingenico terminal allows a receipt to be sent directly to the Palm device. Palm will eventually allow other third-party content to be sent over when a Palm device and a terminal interact.
