Demand for iPhones are sky high, even prompting mobile phone service o2 to bulk up its ranks with around 1400 extra people in order to keep up with the demand it gathered during its launch. o2 is one of the biggest and most stable mobile phones provider around, so them beefing up their workforce just for the iPhone speaks volumes on the market pull of Apple’s newest baby. This is the main reason why more and more developers like us are getting hooked to creating applications for it.

We were finally able to put together some screen shots of our recently announced iPhone application! For those who don’t have an iPhone or an iPod touch you can see the interface below in all it’s iPhone glory! These two screen shots show the main application page and the confirmation page.

The user walks you through the 4 simple steps needed to setup a text message alert for any eBay auction, giving a nice overview of eAuctionAlerts. We thought it was a pretty cool video and a good way to get the site out there, so you might be seeing more of these viral videos on YouTube, and other popular online video sites, in the near future.

Here’s The Official Press Release http://www.eauctionalerts.com/blog/2007/06/19/eauctionalerts-launches-heres-the-official-press-release/ http://www.eauctionalerts.com/blog/2007/06/19/eauctionalerts-launches-heres-the-official-press-release/#comments Tue, 19 Jun 2007 07:01:40 +0000 admin http://www.eauctionalerts.com/blog/2007/06/19/eauctionalerts-launches-heres-the-official-press-release/ June 19, 2007 — Today eAuctionAlerts.com is proudly launching the first free service to remind people when their specified eBay auctions are about to end, by sending a free alert via SMS text message. eAuctionAlerts helps eBay users who like to bid in the last few minutes of an auction, a very common practice on the world largest online auction site, but tend to forget. Until now there were no free solutions to receive eBay auction alerts.

eBay’s paid service costs $0.25 per auction for mobile alerts via text message. However, eAuctionAlerts is completely free to its users. eAuctionAlerts currently does not require any registration, and is fast and easy to use, with everything done on one page. eAuctionAlerts even allows people to choose how soon before the end of an auction they would like to be alerted. eAuctionAlerts can even be used on eBay.co.uk and most of eBay’s other international properties.

eAuctionAlerts currently supports almost every wireless carrier in the United States and Canada, meaning eAuctionAlerts is available to the tens of millions of eBay users and works even if a subscriber’s number has been ported. Currently there are plans to add additional international carriers in the near future.

eAuctionAlerts cares about its users privacy. The site does not sell or share phone numbers entered and does not spam or send any unwanted text messages to its users after the end of auctions.

Stop losing auctions by using www.eAuctionAlerts.com.
