For immediate release
Santa Clara, CA— iPhone owners now have a version of the StreetPrices price comparison site that's designed just for them. The new mobile site offers price graphs, reviews, and price comparison, just like the regular StreetPrices site... but optimized for faster loading and quick, easy browsing on smaller screens.
The mobile website keeps track of the last products you visited, and displays them in a green bar at the top of every page. If you're deciding between several similar digital cameras, or if you can't quite decide which hand puppet you want, the new website will keep your options handy, so you can go back with a single click. When you've found a product and price you like, just click to call most merchants.
The mobile website shows up automatically when you visit http://www.streetprices.com from your cell phone. (The regular site is still available to users who prefer the full functionality of StreetPrices; the bottom of every page has a link to the corresponding page on the regular StreetPrices site.)
iPhone users can zoom in to product pictures in their history and on product pages, making it easy to get a better look at that new TV or cordless drill without leaving the page.
The company is actively seeking feedback from users, with a "feedback" link at the bottom of every page. This lets users send the StreetPrices team a quick note with their suggestions for improving the mobile site.
"During this economic downturn, it's critical that shoppers have handy access to accurate prices on their iPhone," said Stephen Heise, founder. "Once again StreetPrices technology provides a clear win for the consumer — our free mobile site will enable iPhone-savvy users to justify their steep $70/mo AT&T bill, with some folks actually coming out way ahead on their monthly budgets."
For more information, contact StreetPrices at 650.988.1100.
StreetPrices, founded in 1997 by Stephen Heise, was the third shopping comparison website, and the inventor of price graphs and price alerts. It offers great prices and unique features, including a "search by specs" tool and its own merchant rating system.
