IMDB on Your Mobile, Maybe
August 9th, 2007 MobileFreak
I cannot count how many times I’ve tried, unsuccessfully, to recall the name of a particular movie, or an actor in a movie. If only I could have IMDb with me wherever I went.
Of course I can. It is 2007 after all.
I do have a couple issue with the mobile website of IMDB, however. For one, why is the URL so unintuitive? It uses an actual IP address. This is even more important when you are browsing from your mobile phone, where you essentially have to have it bookmarked, since you’ll never remember this web address. Just register IMDb.mobi, or use m.idmb.com, and be done with it.
The other issue I had was that it did not work. All queries cameup with no results. I’d love to hear if it works for anyone else. Let us know if you have any luck!

Tried it but it doesn’t work for me. All searches just return a link to IMDB.
Try http://wap.arune.se/imdb/index.php instead. Great mobile IMDB alternative.
I cannot get it to work either. I tried http://wap.arune.se/imdb/index.php but I don’t like it. No full profile, no message boards, and you have to click to see movies by decade. I’m not impressed at all. I am going to email imdb and see if they have any comment.
