Mobile Candy Dish's Blaze Mobile Wallet is now available for cellular phones on the AT&T and Sprint Nextel networks. Using Near-Field Communication (NFC) technology, consumers using their mobile wallet software can simply wave their mobile phones to purchase merchandise. Unlike traditional credit card transactions, NFC transmits a user’s credit card information using radio waves to the credit card terminal and eliminates the need to take out the actual card and swipe.

ViVOtech has partnered with Mobile Candy Dish to "provide consumers a complete end-to-end mobile commerce platform" by combining ViVOwallet OTA and NFC mobile payment software and the Mobile Candy Dish Blaze suite of mobile services. With the combined offering, the two companies say "consumers can use their mobile phone to get movie information and pay for tickets using any form of credit, debit or gift card, as well as to redeem theater tickets electronically without any delays at the venue by using the ViVOtech contactless readers."

Berkeley, California-based Mobile Candy Dish has announced a pilot with Marcus Theaters of a new service that allows consumers to use their mobile phones to buy movie tickets and get movie information.
