New Apple Ad Promotes the iPhone’s Shopping Savvy [VIDEO]

It hasn’t even been a week since the iPad launch , but Apple’s already back on the marketing trail to promote the iPhone 3GS. Today’s iPhone ad focuses around the shopping experience and how the iPhone can help. Of course, it promotes the iPhone’s web browsing capabilities, SMS/MMS interface, and its thousands of apps — the Red Laser barcode-reading app gets some prime placement, as no other apps are really featured in this commercial. While the iPhone’s ads are less flashy than, say, Droid’s ads , the focus on its utility has proven to be a winner. [via 9 to 5 Mac ] Tags: ad , apple , iphone , iphone 3Gs , iPhone ad

Shop nearby with Google product search on iPhone, webOs, and Android

This afternoon Google announced that users on iPhone, webOS, and Android smartphones will see new product search features. Leveraging your position, if you search, for example, "cowboy boots" under the Shopping search, results will now offer a blue dot and the label "In stock nearby" if you can purchase the item at a store near your location. To try it, visit google.com using one of the aforementioned smartphone platforms. Read the full story here.

Google Mobile Product Search Now Does Local Inventory Check

Google has announced the initial roll-out of a new feature for its mobile product search: Local inventory checks. This means that you can look for a product and then find out if a store near you has it in stock. To try out the new “in stock nearby” feature, go to Google.com on your iPhone, webOS, or Android phone (basically anything that uses Mobile WebKit) and then select “Shopping” from the “More” link. As long as you have enabled your location, when you search for a product, it will let you know in the results if a store nearby has it in stock. For instance, I want to get a new Blu-ray player for my bedroom, and I’m thinking about getting the LG BD-570. Searching for this tells me that Best Buy carries it and that it is in-stock nearby. When I click on that link, I get a listing of stores based on their proximity to where I am, and whether or not the product is in stock. From here, I can either get directions to the store or call them directly. It’s a pretty cool concept, albeit limited with only a few stores in the program right now. It certainly adds a more useful element to local shopping, especially while on the go. We’d love to see this rolled into the Google Shopper app for Android too. What do you think of being able to check inventory levels from Google? Do you use Google’s mobile product search? Let us know!

Google Mobile Search shows you what’s in stock nearby

Google Product Search was already useful, but the addition of local inventory info makes it even better still. The new feature works on the iPhone and any PalmOS or Android device. Just search for Shopping results and Google will return not just pricing information for the item in question, but it will tell you which retailers have it nearby and whether they’ve got it in stock or not. That saves you a trip and the cost of gas. The problem right now is that only a few retail partners are signed up. There are some major ones like Best Buy, Sears, and Williams-Sonoma, but the feature needs more participation from both big stores and local merchants. We are sure that will happen given some time. Pretty cool no? [Gizmodo]

App Directory Mplayit: Mobile Gaming Lags On Android

One of the advantages of having a plethora of app directories for iPhone and Android devices, is the wealth of additional data that has emerged regarding users buying and downloading habits. Facebook-based app directory mPlayit has a few compelling stats out today that show that games are four times as popular among iPhone users than among the Android user base. BlackBerry users are twice as likely to be looking for games content than Android users, eventhough BlackBerry devices are primarily used for business purposes. According to mPlayit, 83 percent of Android app activity on the directory/store is related to non-game related mobile apps, and 17 percent of activity is towards downloading and checking out games. On the other hand, 36 percent of iPhone app activity is related to non-game related mobile apps, with 64 percent of activity towards gaming on the device. Other trends identified by mPlayit include the massive growth of location-based apps, with Loopt, Foursquare and Gowalla all receiving attention on the directory by users. But mPlayit says that even lesser known location-based apps such as FastMall and AroundMe on iPhone are receiving an increased number of downloads. Evernote continues to dominate on the Android, iPhone and BlackBerry platforms, in the Lists & Notes category. Barcode-scanning apps are also increasingly popular, holding the top Utilities category slot for iPhone and BlackBerry, and the second Shopping category slot for Android and iPhone. The fact that that Android platform doesn’t support gaming as well as the iPhone is not new. But with the introduction of powerful Android devices such as Motorola’s Droid and most recently, Google’s Nexus 1, gaming apps and functionality has improved on the device. Especially now that both devices have multi-touch technology. That being said, it may take a bit longer for both developers and users to catch on. MPlayit /2009/11/18/myplayit-launches-mobile-app-discovery-directory-on-facebook/”> launched its Facebook app that allows users to discover, share and recommend a variety of mobile apps back in November and covers apps available for the iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Mobile (Java) devices. Mplayit’s directory of apps includes a dedicated page for each app where Mplayit will post videos of the app (created either by the developer or pulled from YouTube), a detailed description of the app and reviews. You can also click to buy the app from various app markets, including Apple’s App Store and the Android Market. Once you start clicking on various app and downloading apps, Mplayit will begin to recommend apps to you based on your behavior on the site.

“Google Shopper” Hits the Market

Google Shopper , a new app from Google Labs, hit the market tonight. This new app should cause the developers of ShopSavvy and other barcode reading shopping apps sweat a little bit. With Shopper, you can not only scan barcodes but also look up products by taking a picture of them (as you can with Amazon's app) as well as by voice. Results include detailed product specs, pricing, and links to sellers. Products you look up can be saved to a history and shared via email, Twitter, etc. Google's intro video for Shopper shows it in action: Edit: Embedding is disabled on the video, but here's a link to it . If you've tried Shopper, let us know how you like it. Do other shopping app developers have reason for concern? A hat tip to AndroidAndMe for the news that the app is available. Might We Suggest...

No data network?

I have received my iPhone through the mail today and I called (866) 499-8008 to activate my device. After it was activated, I tried to go online without using the Wi-Fi... It says I have no data subscription, but I'm sure I had it because it was automatically added to my plan when I first ordered the phone through the website. Someone help please?
