TSM on the iPhone

The Shopping Dada here again and I just wanted to tell you about the new iPhone friendly Shopping Mama web design. I happened to be on a business trip without a computer when The Shopping Mama told me about the new web design and how I needed to check it out. All I had with me was my iPhone, so I said I would check out the website, but couldn’t guarantee what I would see.

To my surprise the website looks great on the iPhone, the separate columns make the double click zoom function work great and makes for easy reading of all the great reviews and giveaways. Also, The Shopping Mama doesn’t use any Flash, so all of the cool graphics look great on the iPhone. I was really excited to tell The Shopping Mama how great the site looked and how well it displayed on the iPhone.

The last step was to give The Shopping Mama a cool looking home screen icon so you can add it to your iPhone and have one click access to The Shopping Mama. Thanks to some help from my good friend Mr. Google I was able to find the code to create the home screen icon. In case you don’t know to add the home screen icon here is a quick tutorial:

Navigate to theshoppingmama.com and hit the plus sign on the screen. This screen will come up. Hit the “Add to home screen”
Then enter in “TSM” or just go with the default “The Shopping Mama” This is the text that will be displayed under the icon. It will take a second for the iPhone to read the code and you will see the picture resolve to The Shopping Mama icon.
Go to your home screen and there you will see the new Shopping Mama icon. By pressing it you will get direct access to the site. I know it is not as cool as a web app, but hopefully we will get to that some day, but in the mean time, check out the Shopping Mama and show off the cool icon to all your friends.
