craigslist on WM?
 

Check out this sweet app the iphone just got: http://www.tuaw.com/2009/01/02/craig...to-the-iphone/

from the dev website looks like its going to android and blackberry but no WM support, do we have anything like this?

I'm pissed the Iphone is getting all these awesome apps and the Pocket PC crowd seems weak on new programs being released.

I'm pissed that all the apps we have to pay out the *** for like shazam musicid and IM+ are released for free or very cheap on iphone.

Maybe I'm just not getting it, but why can't you just go to craigslist on your web browser?

Re: craigslist on WM?
 

Sometimes makes me think I should get an Iphone because there is so much attention with that platform the programs are just going to keep coming out. Just a side note I saw one of those best of 2008 tech news this morning and they said because the Iphone was the first phone with a touch screen every carrier now has touch screen phones. I thought to myself my ppc6600 had a touch screen like 5 years ago.

With the app it seems a lot easier and faster.

It is a little disapointing all the attention the iPhone is getting by developers, I think that as pocket pc get cheaper and more mainstream developers will start making WM versions as well. Still stinks though.

A dedicated application is optimized for that service, its easier and faster to use.

I don't think it has to do with price but rather with the platform itself. There are only 2 iPhones out there, and that makes development for the hardware MUCH easier. A convenient 1-stop store (Handango can go suck it, they're awful) also helps tremendously.

There are efforts to get a similar software depot set up for WM, I believe it has been initiated on XDA...

The iPhones API's are also much less vast due to only having 2 devices.

from what I read over at wmpoweruser.com microsoft is creating there own apps store code named skymarket, cant wait...

Re: craigslist on WM?
 

that still doesn't help the fact that many vendors (HTC is good at it) hacks the heck out of WM so that developers have to work with MANY scenerios for software to work. Different resolutions, touch interfaces, etc.

Re: craigslist on WM?
 

Umm what? They create their own looks for it, but if done properly (as it is most of the time) no special considerations need to be made. Hell, most .NET stuff is even resolution independent these days. BAF MSL will work on QVGA and VGA automatically, I didn't do anything special to make it work at all.

Re: craigslist on WM?
 

I'm going off of posts that the WebIs.net CEO has written in his blog. iPhone development he says is much easier due to only one or two devices.

not out the box it doesnt.

Re: craigslist on WM?
 

Apps like this that support one website are FOR iPhone users. The most technologically retarded people on the planet. If you have a WM phone you have to have half a brain to get it working. iPhones are for "special" people.

Re: craigslist on WM?
 

Not to mention the battery issues; I won't say it's as bad as some people's TPs, but working in wireless I hear a lot about poor battery life and many people come in looking for backup battery cases. We all could go on and on, but I'm sure iPhone forums are ranting about our lack of 3.5" screens or pocket bulk or something.

you can't buy a touch pro at wal-mart!

Re: craigslist on WM?
 

I see the point in apps like this. I use pocket outlook for my gmail account, but then I also install the Gmail java app as well. I could easily access it using my web browser, but the app is quicker. Same thing goes for Youtube, with Flashlite 3.1 you can watch youtube videos on your web browser, but you know as well as I do if you have one of the Youtube player apps floating around (or pre-installed on the Touch Pro), it's much quicker. I browse Craigslist all the time, usually on Opera Mini because it's so fast. I'd gladly use a Craigslist App if one was ever released (or ported).
