Magento, the fastest growing e-commerce platform, announced the official launch of Magento mobile on September 8th 2010 through their corporate website. Magento Mobile allows retailers and online merchants to exploit the growing need for e-commerce applications. Although, Magento has provided web optimized themes (WAP) since 2008, there is still no viable mobile application for e-commerce solutions. But with the launch of Magento mobile, this phenomenon is about to change. With the help of Magento Mobile, merchants can create branded applications attuned with Magento's widely popular e-commerce platform.

Some of the path-breaking features of Magento Mobile include:

Manifold device management: With the help of Magento Mobile, users can manage multiple devices with single installation. Although, it has been launched with iPhone compatibility only, users would be able to use these services for iPad and android devices with single installation in near future.

Admin Manager: This is a new feature which would be included with Magento ...
... and distributed as a component for existing Magento installations. Magento is compatible with previous versions of Magento including Community Edition 1.3+, Enterprise Edition 1.6+, and Professional Edition 1.8.

Seamless Storefront Application: With the help of Admin Manager, users will be able to maximize the utility of Magento mobile commerce. Some of the services offered by this application will include: full integration with the store's catalog, checkout, inventory, reporting, and many more.

Customizable: Magento Mobile is very easy to customize. Users can integrate device-specific features and layouts with one click. With the help of new Magento admin manager feature, users can quickly update the colors and appearances of the applications even after customers have downloaded the application.

Magentohas initiated the move and now it is to be seen how the market reacts to this new device. But one thing that cannot be undermined is the fact that Magento has an edge over others in creating e-commerce devices. This new platform also gives developers a chance to showcase their talent and come up with out-of-the-box products and services.
