Debenhams has launched applications for Android and Symbian-based Nokia phones
Debenhams has added an Android and a Symbian application to its portfolio.
The department store already has an iPhone application, but is now extending its range.
The applications are aimed at shoppers on the move and allows you to search for, purchase and pay for products available on the retailer’s site.
The Android application features a barcode scanner, allowing you to scan a barcode and then match it to the shop’s inventory. For example, if you’re looking to buy a replacement eye shadow, you simply need to scan in the barcode using your phone’s camera and the application will search for everything Debenhams has in stock, allowing you to buy straight away.
Debenhams says the barcode scanner alone on the iPhone application has been used 90,000 in the first five months it was available to download on the App Store and it expects similar results from the Android application.
Debenhams has also put QR codes to good use, offering customers who spot a QR code on adverts or shop fronts to scan it in and get special offers.
Other features of the iPhone, Android and Nokia applications include the ability to filter searches, create a wish list for sharing among friends and families and find a store.
“Launching on the Android and Nokia platforms opens Debenhams mobile shopping to another millions more customers, bridging the gap between the high street and Debenhams.com,” says Harriet Williams, head of digital development for Debenhams.
The Debenhams iPhone application has been downloaded a total of 360,000 times and according to UTalk Marketing, has been responsible for almost £1 million worth of sales since its launch.
The launch of the Debenhams application comes just days after QVC launched its own shopping application for iPhone. The QVC app syncs items currently on-air in real-time, which means you won’t miss out on every day’s products.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

I have mastered some new things from your web site about computers. Another thing I have always considered is that laptop computers have become a specific thing that each household must have for several reasons. They supply you with convenient ways to organize households, pay bills, shop, study, pay attention to music and perhaps watch tv shows. An innovative approach to complete these types of tasks is by using a notebook. These computer systems are portable ones, small, robust and easily transportable.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
