Smart App that turns Your Lesser Mobile Phones into an iPhone Lite?

21 Mar

So you have an iPhone – but in these tight times chances are you are the only one in your family to have one. And the rest of your family drives you nuts wanting to use it (of course)! Or spacer5.jpgperhaps you are just wishing you had one and are saving hard to make the upgrade – and are visiting this site just so you can find out all the cool things you can do with it once you get it?

Whether you are the harried single-iPhone family or a desperate wanna-be, the recent release of Notifier by iSkoot may be just what you need till the next iPhone comes along. This is a very cool application that turns an ordinary phone into a smart phone. (OK its never gonna match up the iPhone, but hear me out..)

The Notifier makes it possible for an ordinary mobile to access your Facebook as you would on your iPhone, read and publish updates on Twitter, get Gmail or AOL and send, receive, and reply to messages. And to

  • Get news feeds from the most popular news, sports, entertainment, politics and technology sites on the web, from CNN to ESPN to Perez Hilton.

So put this great App on the other mobiles in your home and get yourself some iPhone-alone time! You can download this free App here.

BTW – iSkoot has also just released iSkoot for Skype – free mobile app that means that all the great features of Skype can now be used on basic mobile handsets.

NB: Notifier has only just been released – so it currently only works on20 mobiles brands – LG, Motorola and Samsung and Sony mobiles and on the Nokia: 6555. But iSkoot assures us that it will be available for another 10 soon and it has just released its SDK to any and all handset manufacturers or and other device (maybe the PSP will take it on?) So should be available on any handset in the next few months.
