Digital Press iPhone App?

[DTJAAAAMJSLM]

Hey, not sure if this has ever been brought up, but has anyone ever thought about converting the guide into an app for the iPhone? I can't be the only one who would love to have quicker access to the database with a few quick taps. I don't normally get any of the pay apps, but I'd be willing to spend some money for something like this!

Well, this isn't exactly the Digital Press Guide on the iPhone. But we just released out price guide as a $0.99 application on the iphone. We are currently working on an update that will allow you the "check" games into your collection. The price guide contains values for loose and complete items from the Atari 2600 through Nintendo 64.

Search the App Store, or itunes for "video game price guide"

Thanks,

I feel like awhile ago Nayus_Dante (sp?) was working on converting the guide into a format readable on portable devices like iPhone and PSP--but I don't know what the status of that is or if he finished?

I tried browsing Digital Press on my Blackberry Storm and it struggles with the frames. It is definitely not mobile-friendly, at least for my Storm. It would be great if there were a mobile-friendly version of the site.

I have been toying with changing up my phone plan, and going iPhone. I use this site alot for my collecting. If anything, does anyone know of just a simple app that alows you to keep track of & view your collection? Like maybe just a list, or maybe with tiny cover art thumbnails?

The Video Game Price Guide iPhone app was released a week ago by us (Video Game Trader). Either the next, or the update after that, will have the capability of checking an item into your collection, as well as the ability to build a wish list.

You can get the app here: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=316807153&mt=8&s=143441
