Tesco has one of the most successful loyalty schemes with their Clubcard.
Whenever you shop at Tesco they always ask at the checkout… ‘Do you have a Clubcard’ to which I reply – “Yes.. no wait.. I don’t have it with me….”
Well it looks like I’m not alone and Tesco has created an application that in it’s first iteration will allow my iPhone to present a barcode that can be used in place of my Clubcard.

I was intrigued last week by the lack of coverage and interest that the news that Symbian is now open source got….
The Symbian Foundation announced that the OS itself would be provided free and made completely open source.
Whilst Symbian is the number 1 operating system in the world residing on over 300 million handsets few consumers are even aware that their device is using Symbian. Most associate it with Nokia.
So what does this really mean for the mobile industry? With handset vendors slowly realising that software is the difference in mobile devices it leaves them in a whole world of choice. With Android, Symbian, Linux, Windows Mobile and their own creations where do vendors like Samsung and LG place their investments? Thinking about Windows Mobile – will this move force Microsoft to change it’s licensing model?
Interesting times!
