Craigslist Makes App For BlackBerry But Not iPhone
Craigslist is the most popular online classifieds website. They have come out with an app and what is interesting about it is that it is not available for the iPhone or iPod Touch. The new Craigslist app works only with the BlackBerry. The app will let people browse, search, save and reply to Craigslist listings with their BlackBerry. Wiredsays the app costs $5 and was created by Movela and Pyxis Mobile.
The official Craigslist app will soon be exclusively available to BlackBerry users. The $5 app created by Movela and Pyxis Mobile will allow users to browse and search through Craigslist postings across different categories, reply to them and save searches. The app supports all categories and countries available on the Craigslist website. So if you want to read 'missed connections' on the go, the BlackBerry will be the only place for it.
"We took about two days to create an initial version of the app and then took it to Craigslist for their approval," says Todd Christy, president and CTO at Pyxis Mobile, which helped develop the app. "They liked it because we had a working app and not just a concept."
A Craiglist app for the iPhone could happen someday but not until the "distant future."
