Boopsie is new location-aware mobile search application with bluetooth GPS support that assigns hotkeys to popular search portals and enables you to search-as-you-type in real-time, information on the mobile web, by typing smart incremental prefixes for multiple keywords instead of typing whole words. The results are provided dynamically as you type.
For example, if you want to lookup Thomas Alva Edison on Wikipedia, you can simply type
w tho alv edi (where w is the hotkey for Wikipedia channel)
If your device has a GPS reciever, you can choose a location aware channel by selecting the option “Search from here”. Then as you move around, items matching the input filter that you have typed in the text entry box will show up in distance order from your current position. So, if you choose the Starbucks Store Locator channel, you will see a Starbucks store that is located nearby your location. You can also get directions from your current “Search from here” location to the currently highlighted location or even make a call to the business.

Key features of Boopsie include:
+ Find channels dynamically by typing first few keywords
+ Host of options when Boopsie is assigned to phone’s hardware key/softkey
+ Add your own channels
+ Get dynamically updated real-time search results in fewer clicks which can then be navigated using your phone keypad
+ GPS/Manual location aware search
+ Download address and telephone number of listings to your phone’s address book
+ Get driving directions
+ Click to Call
Some of the channels added in the software include Amazon, Wikipedia, Area code lookup, world date and time, train time, local city search, dictionary lookup, encyclopedia, movie times, flight status, Google services, sports, music channels, stock quotes, weather, games, news, and more.
Visit Boopsie from your mobile device to download the correct version of the application for your phone model. Supported OS include Nokia S60, Palm Treo, Blackberry, Windows Mobile and MIDP 2.0 capable Java J2ME
