Smartphones have made our lives easier and more interesting in many ways–but are they as good as they can be when it comes to mobile purchases? Fast Company‘s Noah Robischon and Austin Carr discuss the ever-elusive “buy button,” a simple buying method that hasn’t quite migrated to your iPhone or Android from its place on the Internet.
