Imdb film 2009

It has always seemed strange to me that a Web site as useful as IMDB can be so completely clueless when it comes to mobile devices. IMDB has no option of inspection mobile smartphone so users have to navigate the large version of the site to perform a simple search. The couple that with the fact that they have not heeded mobile applications for so long, and is almost as if they think mobile computing is just a passing craze.

That is until now. IMDB finally has released free iPhone app (download from the App Store) which offers quick access to its search engine as well as some other smart mobile features.

The search functionality is the main draw of the app, and it works like a dream. The results appear in a fraction of the time needed to search IMDB via the mobile web browser. Navigation of the results is considerably improved since the app offers a native iPhone user interface. Basically, the navigation of the search results works very similarly to the navigation of your settings on your iPhone. Search results are clear, organized, and perfect for use while you are armed to go.

The app also uses IMDB services no position to determine the movie showtimes near you (nothing new here), and offers a quick glimpse at upcoming films, box office results of ordinary Americans, and 250 first top film 2009. Also of note is MOVIEmeter that keeps track of most wanted titles IDMB.

And if they threw a bone to fans of TV, the app also offers TV listings for the prime time for the major networks, as well as short recaps for episodes that you may have recently lost.

It is more elegant iPhone app around, but it is a good first step for a site that has not paid much attention to mobile computing so far.
