List of Mobile Websites

I have found some very useful mobile websites that I usually use on my Ipod Touch that I thought some people wanted to know to use on their mobile devices, eg. Cell Phones, PDAs, Internet Tablets, etc. I also wanted to find some more so suggestions are welcome!

Google - Self Explanitory

meebo - online web IM for AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk messengers - IM client that can use AOL, Yahoo, MSN etc all in one.

Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more - Shopping site

Yea I've had great success with it, and if you create an official "Meebo" account you can log into all your IM screen names with just one account.

But web based, so it's accessible any place there's a browser and a connection.

Re: List of Mobile Websites

Re: List of Mobile Websites

I have the HTC TyTN II (Windows Mobile 6) with GPS and TomTom installed. I am even able to send anyone an Email with my position in Lat and Lon. It has all the goodies one can think of.

Yes, that is one I am looking at. Can you say how well the GPS works? I mean is the screen visible in the car and does it show enough info?

Yes, and Yes.

The GPS in my phone is okay, but it is sometimes slow to lock onto satellites, quickly, and is limited by screen size and software.

I prefer my trucks factory navigation. The biggest upside of having GPS on a device that can connect to the internet is it opens a lot of possibilities in map updates.

Re: List of Mobile Websites

It works very well. I use it in the car and satellite receipt is excellent in my car. Screen resolution is excellent. When you're driving in the car at night, TomTom allows to change to night view (in essence everything is shown in various blue color flavors).

In addition, "Jane"'s voice announces in advance when I have to turn to the right or announces a roundabout.

Rarely TomTom behaved oddly. Don't know if it was the GPS or TomTom.

Social networking sites seem to show great interest for mobile users.
