An iPhone portal with free iTunes music, games, and much, much more

myijump iPhone portal

Sure, we know that web portals are soooooo nineteen ninety-eight, but we also know that the iPhone age is breathing new life into these destination sites, especially when they are optimized for the iPhone and iPod touch. Take myijump.com for example. At first glance this looks like another iPhone portal site offering a convenient starting point for web surfing from mobile Safari. However, a deeper dive into myijump reveals a virtual cornucopia of web sites and web apps that are all optimized for the iPhone or iPod touch. The web apps are all categorized under tap-formatted buttons designed for the touch interface. With games, entertainment, news, sports, social networking, productivity, free iTunes music, and more, you will find something for everyone here making myijump.com worthy of a web clip on your device.

What’s really nice about this portal is that it’s not just another collection of any site with an iPhone UI, but rather an offering of high quality iPhone web apps that have been thoroughly vetted by the proprietors of myijump.com. The web apps are all categorized under tap-formatted buttons designed for the touch interface. There are other iPhone portals out there. Leaflets looked promising when we told you about it last summer although it doesn’t look like they’ve added much to it since then. However, we’re still loving MockDock which has a ton of great web apps for your iPhone and iPod touch, and it is customizable. myijump.com isn’t customizable yet, but it does have its web apps segregated for iPhone, iPod touch, and by geography. This is valuable since not all web apps work on both iPhone and iPod touch, and some are really only for U.K. users. Like the time I used MockDock to get football scores for the Denver Broncos and got some blimey soccer team.
