iPhone Friendly!

I'm just back from a business lunch and the biggest topic of conversation was our new webapp for iPhone - Rusty had an iPhone and has been working to integrate all of the services that are available on our website into the new iPhone interface. I am definitely not one of the most technologically advanced people here at uscity.net - but not the least either... I could not believe how easy and fast it was to use. Scrolling down our entire list of states and categories took mere seconds! We look a little different on the iPhone. We all had fun playing with our new iphone-friendly site and now everyone wants an iPhone! Lynda had a Q-phone which has internet access and she was able to get to the reformatted site also. Our tech department is very hyped about all of this and hopefully will keep me informed of new features as they are added. (Our tech people are notorious for NOT letting me know what they are doing - I can think of two reasons why: One being that they are so caught up in making our site easier, faster and up to date that they forget everything else. And Two being that they have to really slow their brains down to tell me what they are doing in language I can understand!)

I do know that all of our features will soon be a perfect fit for the iPhones and similar handheld gadgets with internet acces. There are loads of features already working. Free phone number lookup nationwide is available now as well as access to millions of G-rated quality links.

To get to our directory, get an internet connection and go to http://uscity.net, once there, touch the blank space in the top bar, and one the drop down box press the plus sign (+) next to it and press save - this will add our site to your ‘favorites’ and make it easy to get to us next time.

After I arrived at our site, what impressed me the most was being able to go through the alphabet to find the category I was looking for so quickly, and then I just touched on the category I wanted to see and voila’ - there were all the sites listed. You can also scroll through all the categories without using the alphabet, but the first way was faster for me. Fast... Easy… I like that!!

The next thing I did was find my phone number using the white pages (located on the first page of http://uscity.net/iphone) and by just touching the number, I called my husband!! Very cool! And the first thing I asked him was when was he going to buy me an iPhone?!?!
