enabling a user to browse by scrolling on the display over the list of products for purchase using the digital retail shopping system;

receiving an input from a user to stop scrolling thereby selecting a product, and when the scrolling stops,

presenting a view of the selected product and an icon representing a detail specific to the selected product at a center of the display, wherein the view of the selected product and the icon representing the detail specific to the selected product are presented at the center of the display without a further action by the user.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

retrieving details of the selected product from the database of products for purchase;

processing a personal preferences profile of the user;

determining comparison parameters associated with details of the selected product and the personal preferences profile of the user;

based on the comparison parameters, generating an advisory message related to the selected product and the personal preferences profile of the user; and

presenting said advisory message on the display of the client device with the view of the product and with the icon representing the detail of the selected product as presented at the center of the display.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

based on the personal preferences profile of the user and the comparison parameters of the selected product, presenting on the display an alternative product, comparable to the selected product to the left or to the right of the selected product presented at the center of the display.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein said advisory message is selected from at least one of a group consisting of:

text messages, images, video files, audio files and combinations thereof.

5. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

continuously monitoring user behavior and updating the personal preferences profile.

6. A graphical user interface for use in a digital retail shopping system, said graphical user interface enabled in a client device in communication with a network, said network connected to a server and a database of products for purchase, the graphical user interface configured to:

provide a scrollable list of products on a display of the client device;

enable a user to browse by scrolling on the display over the list of products for purchase using the digital retail shopping system; and

receive an input from a user to stop scrolling to select a product, and when the scrolling stops, a view of the selected product and an icon representing a detail specific to the selected product are presented at a center of the display, without a further action by the user.

7. The graphical user interface of claim 6, wherein details of the selected product are retrieved from the database of products for purchase, wherein a personal preferences profile of the user is processed to determine comparison parameters associated with details of the selected product, wherein based on the comparison parameters, an advisory message is generated related to the selected product and the personal preferences profile of the user, the graphical user interface further configured to:

present said advisory message on the display of the client device with the view of the selected product and the icon representing the detail specific to the selected product.

8. The graphical user interface of claim 7, wherein based on the personal preferences profile of the user and the comparison parameters of the selected product, a view of an alternative product, comparable to the selected product, is presented on the display, to the left or to the right of the selected product.

9. The graphical user interface of claim 7, wherein said advisory message is selected from at least one of a group consisting of:

text messages, images, video files, audio files and combinations thereof.

10. The graphical user interface of claim 7, wherein user behavior is continuously monitored and the personal preferences profile is updated.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in a digital retail shopping system including a client device in communication with a network, said network connected to a server and a database of products for purchase, the computer-readable storage medium storing programming instructions that, if executed by a processor in the digital retail shopping system, are operable to cause the digital retail shopping system to perform operations comprising:

providing a scrollable list of products on a display of the client device;

enabling a user to browse by scrolling on the display over the list of products for purchase using the digital retail shopping system; and

receiving an input from a user to stop scrolling thereby selecting a product, and when the scrolling stops, a view of the selected product and an icon representing a detail specific to the selected product are presented at a center of the display, without a further action by the user.
