Amazon To Go
Are you an Amazon addict? Do you love browsing products, reading reviews, checking the star ratings, getting recommendations, and everything else that makes Amazon so much fun? You’re going to love this, then. I was reading an interesting article on mobile shopping search tools and I found that there are several Amazon shopping & search tools for mobile phones.
First, there are the official Amazon mobile web pages at http://www.amazon.com/access or http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/h.html. The first one has icons to click on to browse certain areas of the Amazon site; the second one uses links. There is also a service from a company called Tic Tap Mobile that lets you browse Amazon at their URL http://m.tictap.com. They also let you send SMS text messages to 763-807-3927 with the ISBN, UPC or keywords that describe the product. They will text back with prices and customer ratings. Even better, they’ll save your search history so you can pull it up at the Tic Tap website. UK Amazon addicts can use txtbux (http://www.txtbux.co.uk)to get Amazon UK pricing info via SMS text message.
However, what I really love is the downloadable app, Amazon-OnTheGo. With Amazon-OnTheGo, you can find products by UPC code, ASIN, or ISBN number, or by keyword searching. You can browse new releases, browse top sellers by category, pull up wishlists by email address, and read customer reviews. You can even add items you find to your shopping cart. When you’re finished, one click will save the cart at Amazon, and you will be sent a link that you can access for up to 60 days. (Remember to type in your email address under the "Settings" area!) The app is well-designed, attractive, and easy to use - a great add-on to any mobile phone. You can download the app to your phone by visiting this link from your’s phone’s browser: http://m.mywebonthego.com.

The site i’m building at http://wampad.com which lets you send search queries to amazon and other mobile shopping engines like shopwiki, froogle and others. It also has a bunch of other search options. I saw the article and I plan on adding to the shopping list on wampad with it.
Nice! I like all the sites you have access to from the drop-down. Is it fully functional yet? I’ll have to try it from my phone. IMDB! Digg! Wikipedia! Sweet!
Have you heard of this company?
You can go directly to major brand content rather than searching!?
