Pizza Hut customers in the US can now order their pizza online and via their PC desktop, by installing an Adobe AIR app, called the Pizza Hut Shortcut, available here, courtesy of the pizza chain website.
Apart from eBay, I believe it is the first 'mass market' Adobe AIR app out there...

Reebok launches in-house updated global e-commerce site | InternetRetailer.com
Reebok is launching a global e-commerce site that will better promote its brand, allow users to send product details to their mobile phones and convey the feeling of shopping in a store, the company says.
The footwear and apparel retailer began a soft launch of the updated site for its customers in the UK and France and will roll the site out to several other undisclosed countries throughout 2008. The new site will mark Reebok’s entry into e-commerce in some of the countries.
The site automatically redirects to the browser language country, and is in full-Flash & Flex. Although loading times are a little slow, the user interface is nice.

More video-powered online sales
Update: This feature is provided by Factory 515.
US Online fashion store Bluefly.com has soft-launched a cool new feature called 'Shop the Shoot' for its 'b*fly' section. Customers receive an e-mail inviting them to discover the shoot of the b*fly collection at Bluefly studios, which links to an embedded video player within Bluefly's blog, 'Flypaper'.
The video is pretty straightforward, with an interview of Ford model Heather and 'making-of' takes of the photo shoot, but there's a 'CLICK TO BUY' link on the player, which displays an interactive overlay, listing the on-screen items and links to jump to the product pages. A true Youtube-like Flash player for e-commerce video.
Pretty neat and enticing. I like it.
Here's the e-mail creative and a couple of screenshots of the video player, but you can also check it out for yourself.
