Tags: , | Added: 5 Feb, 2008 (1,297 Views)

Boopsie is a thin, yet powerful search client for your mobile phone. The idea behind this search tool, is to help you find whatever you’re lookng with as little typing as possible. And it achieves this by combining live search with topic-specific search channels (dictionary, news, movies, etc.).

    LifeHacker: “Boopsie, a free mobile search app, aims to cut down the number of keypad clicks between you and the information you’re looking for.”

    Totally agree. It’s simple and fast.

    I don’t think I have seen any mobile search app that bundles as many essential sources and works as fast as this one.

    lol @ dave. i never thought of it that way… i need to impress my friends more with my skills instead of what i have been doing which is …”what do you mean you dont use Boopsie! it’s the fastest mobile search around. download it free and search by the word itself instead of scrolling through websites that dont work on your phone anyways. it has saved me so much time searching for exactly what i need…” on and on until i drive them crazy!

    but they download it. and use it.

    oh how i do love Boopsie.
