SilkSystem Solutions puts eBay on the iPhone

Mobile eBay shopping just got sexier. Thanks to SilkSystem Solutions' recent launch of the first eBay Compatible Application for the iPhone that is bidding (PlaceOffer API) enabled, iPhone users can now shop eBay in style.

As you all know, Apple opened the floodgate to iPhone mania on June 29th at 6:00pm local time, and in a mere two days, AT&T managed to activate 146,000 iPhone subscribers with 40% of whom were new AT&T customers.

This tidal wave of consumer enthusiasm certainly caught global attention. SilkSystem quickly jumped on the bandwagon by creating an eBay shopping assistant application that enables iPhone users to find items, bid, view your eBay Watch List, and check auction status. See this ZDNet blog post for more feature details.

This iPhone application really speaks to the eBay crowd, especially the diehard fans, because it is a "must have" shopping assistant if you want an upper hand in winning an eBay auction.

The application user interface is optimized for the iPhone experience so if you find the zoom function cumbersome, worry no more since zooming in/out is not necessary with this visually optimized application. For those users who have way too many passwords in their head, that is no longer a problem either because you are only required to use your eBay password once.

Bottom line is--the iPhone is great, having the ability to shop eBay on it is even better. Equipped with an iPhone and an eBay application that is designed to help you win auctions, you can now go "win" yourself another iPhone on eBay.
