Amabuddy
Wow! Mark (my officemate) pointed this one out today. Amabuddy is a phone based interface to the AmazonAPI. You call the 617 number or the toll-free number and enter an ISBN. Once you’ve done that, it reads back some basic information like the book rating from Amazon, the list price, Amazon’s price, and the best Amazon used price. Their website even will let you recall the list of books you’ve searched for once you get back to a computer. Way too cool.
Please try TicTap as well. http://www.tictap.com
TicTap searches by SMS, so the information is stored in your phone. We are not limited to just ISBN and UPC, try keywords too. But try to be descriptive with the words.
You can visit the website later to review all your SMS searches. Or just grab the RSS feed.
TicTap also has web-based search. You can also find top-selling, most-gifted, most-wished, and newly-released products. You can even SMS price information for a product to your cell phone from the web site!
We also have a Konfabulator widget for download.
