Abstract

Systems and methods for facilitating electronic transactions via a device capable of communicating with a network. The method includes providing a catalog on the network and communicating with the network via the device (Fig 2). The catalog is downloaded to the device and communication is discontinued with the network via the device (300). At least one desired transaction within the catalog is selected and stored on the device (304). The device recommunicates with the network and the at least one desired transaction is completed (306).
