It’s disheartening enough for managers of brick-and-mortar stores to know that a goodly number of their customers are just doing their window shopping and will head home to check the Internet for a better price. Soon, though, those managers are going to have it shoved in their faces. Late Tuesday, Amazon introduced TextBuyIt, a service that lets shoppers make price comparisons and online purchases via text message. The customer types in the name of a product, its description or its UPC or ISBN to 262966 (that’s “Amazon” on the keypad), and if Amazon stocks the product, the service returns results two at a time. At any point, the customer can make a purchase, and service will call and walk him or her through checkout through automated voice prompts.
