SYDNEY: A number of major retailers are participating in a new online shopping system, available for use on the recently launched Apple iPad.
Sales offers and catalogues from retailers including Target, BIG W and Myer will be available to view via new iPad app Lasoo.
The system allows users to browse by product, category or location. The iPad's GPS function will ensure consumers only see goods from stores that are in their nearby area. A Google Maps system allows customers to find store locations and opening hours.
A similar Lasoo application for the iPhone is also available. The iPhone version has been downloaded over 33,000 times since launching in September 2009.
