Hopstop and Phonezoo Games Update

I have been playing with researching Hopstop, http:// www.hopstop.com/ . So far I like what I see. Hopstop allows you to get door-to- door subway and bus directions, and maps for several large cities and metropolitan regions. Parts of the United States that are currently covered include: New York City, Metro North Area, Long Island, New Jersey, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.

Another cool feature Hopstop has is mobile capability. After registering on the site and plugging in your cell phone information, you can send requests for directions and get answers on your cell phone. If you have a smartphone you can also view maps. Hopstop also lets you plan a trip with multiple destinations using the itinerary feature. Hopstop also displays search results for places to eat, sleep, stay, and explore. I will post more on Hopstop’s features in upcoming posts.

Do you remember that I said that Phonezoo games can not be downloaded to Verizon Wireless phones?

I also said that I would give the downloads a try anyway, just to see what happens. Well folks, nothing happens. When I went to the download page to get a game, the “send to my phone” button was disabled. This holds true for Alltel Wireless subscribers also.

Got a question? Want to let the world know about a cool website, hot application, or a neat gadget?
