Boopsie : Ultra Fast Search for your Mobile
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.”
There are over 100 channels in total. Search match scores, lookup stock prices, local weather reports, find phone numbers, search Wikipedia, find nearest Starbucks or FedEx store, movie reviews (via IMDB.com), area code lookup, search Amazon books, read global news and lots more. .
Features

- Works with pretty much all popular phones (BREW, Blackberry, Java (J2ME), Palm OS, Symbian, Windows Mobile and iPhone). See a full list of supported devices here.

Love the boopsie. Lightweight, fast way to find information you need and impress people with your mastery of finding random factoids on the internet!
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.
