Carol Steinberg, ShopNBC's Senior Vice President of e-Commerce and Marketing, said: "We are excited about advancing the cause of our mobile e-commerce strategy for the benefit of the customer. With fast, easy access to our entire product selection coupled with the ability to accept merchandise orders directly from mobile devices, ShopNBC has further enhanced its shopping experience. Now, in step with an on-the-go lifestyle, customers have the ease of knowing that ShopNBC's unique items and top values are always at their fingertips."
