Boopsie is a new client search application that is totally different than Google, Yahoo, etc. We're looking for your feedback. We use vertical search - like people look for things in real life.

So, you choose a category, then start typing what you want.

So, when you want 'weather', you start typing the word 'weather', select it from the dynamic list and then type part of the city name or zipcode. You could type:

'lag be' - for Laguna Beach
'926' - for 92651.

There is no faster way to access Wikipedia on a mobile phone. Choose Wikipedia from the main menu, then start typing the prefixes of your search term. So, under the Wikipedia channel:

'um th' - Uma Thurman
'ge c sc' - finds George C Scott

It's auto-complete on steroids...on your phone. Best bar argument resolver around.

Channels include: Amazon Books, Caltrain Schedule, Celebrity Photos, CitySearch Silicon Valley, World Date and Time, FlightView flight status (west coast only), IMDB, Sports scores, Snow Reports, Surf Reports, Stock quotes, etc. Channels are being added daily by many third parties.

NOTE: You need to have a data plan.

Works on Palm OS Treo and Windows Mobile Treo

Download it free from your phone's browser at http://boopsie.com/dl

There is a Windows Mobile, Palm OS, Blackberry and Java application. Choose Java if you don't have a Windows Mobile, Palm OS or Blackberry device.

No registration required.

(The phone app works better than the web)
