The Poor Man’s iPhone

Poor Man's iPhone

Sure, we’re excited for the iPhone. I mean, who isn’t? You gotta be some sort of technology-hating freak sauce not to be excited for only the most bestest phone ever to be launched ever, right?

We here, at Tappity, just got done watching the 20-some-minute video on Apple’s website. You know what I’m talking about, the one that makes you look at your phone as if it were a discarded corn cob. I have to be honest, I started thinking of ways to scrape together $500, and envisioned myself there on launch day, at the Apple Store, elbowing yuppies out of my way like my father did so many years ago, trying to get my sister a Cabbage Patch Doll. But then…then, I remembered something…..each one of us already has an iPhone…..inside of us….well, inside of our phones, that is….

That’s right folks, aside from the whiz-bang graphics and drool-inducing transitions, it’s likely that your current phone has access to as much, if not more, information than the yet-to-be-released, impossible-to-get-when-it-comes-out, gonna-cost-you-an-arm-and-two-legs-to-purchase, not-to-mention-youre-stuck-in-a-contract iPhone. All you need is a phone with a web browser…..oh, and Tappity…..

What kind of things can I find with my current cell phone, which up until a minute ago I thought was pooptastic?

I’m glad you asked. You can access: Yahoo, Google, maps, directions, weather, sports, price comparison, used car pricing, Flickr, video, news, movie showtimes, Digg, and a whole lot more.

Tappity is a site that helps you discover that all of these features have existed on the mobile web, long before the iPhone. Once you find sites that are of interest to you, use Tappity to create a personalized mobile homepage, so that you can access them quickly.
