A Webkinz World Without Apples
October 17th, 2007 MobileFreak
Don’t know what a Webkin is? Ask anyone who has kids between the ages of four and ten, and they will tell you. And if you have anyone at that age on your Christmas list this year, buying them a Webkin is a no-brainer. These plush toys which have a life of their own on the web are extremely popular right now, and the craze at elementary and middle schools across the country shows no signs of slowing down.
On a seemingly unrelated note, most of our readers are well aware of the snazzy web browser on the Apple iPhone, which is unlike other mobile browsers in that it displays the same version of websites you would see from your PC (or close to it).
So what in the world do these two have to do with each other? Well, at last check, the Webkinz World website does not display on the iPhone browser. This is because Webkins World uses Flash, which the iPhone does not seem to like. The Webkinz folks have yet to develop a mobile website, but surely that cannot be too far off in the future.
So now you have the knowledge to be ultra hip in the eyes of your spoiled rich neice — Get her a Webkin for Christmas, Hanukkah, or fill-in-your-favorite-holiday-here, and then warn her that she cannot check up on it from her iPhone. The fact that you know this will convince them that you are all-knowing, even if we all-know that is far from the truth. Please use this knowledge responsibly.
