Second they are right here in the US and third they are free to users, check out Veeker as an example. This was a bad move for Best Buy.

It is pretty amazing they went off shore for this, especially given the crap state of the USD. Great win for the little guy.

I can think of 4 that do this exact service for brand companies. Reality Digital is by far the leader in providing this type of service.

They made some interesting acquisitions and now looking to make equity investments. Clearly their strategy is to have an annuity revenue model tied into the in-store purchases - whether digital cameras or telephony hardware. How long before Circuit City jumps on board OR is it to late? I like Best Buy’s Corporate Development strategy as of late.
