CoolIris for iPhone

Wednesday, October 22, 2008 / Comments (6) / by Varun


A few days ago,I had posted a review for CoolIris,which can be found here Apparently my post caught the eye of the developer team,and they have updated me twice about what's going on with their project.It's been interesting to hear from them,since I especially liked their mozilla firefox plugin,using it regularly myself.
Here's what Jenny from the CoolIris team had to say


"Hi again Varun,
Again, thanks for supporting Cooliris!
I wanted to let you know that we've got some exciting news to announce from Cooliris! Now you can experience Cooliris anywhere and anytime by navigating the mobile web with our brand new iPhone App. Cooliris for the iPhone is the fastest way to browse media-rich web content on the go.

Searching the Web with the Cooliris iPhone app displays your results in the same intuitive, easy-to-navigate manner you've come to expect from the Cooliris web client. The Cooliris iPhone app overcomes the traditional limitations of mobile internet browsing by coupling the breezy, open-ended feel of the 3D Wall with the streamlined hands-on interface of the iPhone touchscreen.

Cooliris for the iPhone brings you the news and articles relevant to you from across the Web with our Discover feeds. All of the Discover feeds available on our web client have been optimized for the iPhone, so you'll always have the latest current events at your fingertips.

No matter where you are in the world, Cooliris delivers content that is relevant to where you are based. Since the iPhone can detect your location through GPS, you'll get news customized to your locale (UK users will automatically have a UK News feed available to them, for example). This will be a huge boon to our enthusiastic international user base. Discover also allows you to pull up the related story within its web context by clicking the associated metadata. There's no need to jump out of Cooliris and visit the parent website in order to get the full story!

This is only the first release for Cooliris on the iPhone, and as such it's meant to help you navigate the internet's news and media as simply and easily as possible. As the application grows, you'll be seeing more features currently only available on the web client, as well as new ones which take advantage of the iPhone's unique interface – so stay tuned!

You can check out our app at http://blog.cooliris.com/.

Kindest regards,
Jenny & The Cooliris Team"


(this is a comment on my original post about the app.)
Now I'm not one of the lucky guys to own an iPhone (yet!) But until I lay my hands on one,why don't you,the readers,try this out and tell me if it works well?

Also a thanks to the CoolIris team for keeping me updated :D

Hi Varun,
Your blog is exellent.
I have a doubt.
Did Google adsense get approved for your site?
cause
I've tried many times and never got an approval.

Varun @ October 27, 2008 at 1:12 PM

@peter: Replying here as you didn't leave ur URL.Adsense approved my site.but to be honest there it's a load of crap.The returns are miniscule.The only ones who are making money out of adsense are the people writing 'make some money' blogs.You are better off looking for minimalls or shoppingads.Atleast they approve quickly and don't randomly ban you.I haven't signed up yet because I'm not so serious about earning money online.Hope that helped :)
