News that TradeMe, New Zealand’s answer to Ebay (and biggest single traffic generator in NZ) is going mobile.

While others claim that the iPhone heralds a revolution, and that mobile web browsing will be the mass market game-changer, I’m not so sure.

While TradeMe brought the Internet to Ma and Pa Kiwi, it remains to be seen whether TradeMe mobile will be similarly revolutionary.

Notwithstanding that it’s great to see TradeMe get mobile (bugs notwithstanding!)

    In Britain, I can buy 3GB over 30 days for UKP15 on a PAYG basis plus 10p per extra MB, which more than meets my needs (there’s a 7GB over 30 days option FOR ukp25). That is roughly 13 cents per 10 MB. (Account plans are half that, with free modem). VfNZ still has a way to go.
