Next week, an estimated 131,000 visitors will descend on Las Vegas for the annual
Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which starts on Thursday, January 8. 

We all know by now that “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.”  But how does one get a quick read on where to stay, where to eat and most of all, where Elvis can be sighted?  Since many of the attendees will be carrying an iPhone, they might want to tap this app for assistance – SnappySeeker. 

Introduced in mid-December, SnappySeeker is a timesaving and fun application geared towards users looking for instant search results, while on-the-go, from multiple sources. The iPhone version (just $0.99 at the iPhone App Store under the Productivity Category) features integrated web browser and search-triggering touch & scroll toolbar, which enables users to quickly switch from one source to another (it retrieves information from the Amazon product catalog, Wikipedia, eBay, blogs, images, news, financial information, and many others mobile-optimized websites) and spot the most suitable result in seconds.

With Vegas on the mind, the following is a quick run-through of some of the many things SnappySeeker can help you with no matter where your travels take you.

We are happy to announce the availability of SnappySeeker for iPhone.

SnappySeeker is a time-saving and fun application geared towards users looking for instant search results from multiple sources. The iPhone version features integrated web browser and search-triggering touch & scroll toolbar, allowing to quickly switch from one source to another and spot the most suitable result in seconds.

In addition to "classic" web search results, SnappySeeker retrieves information from the Amazon product catalog, Wikipedia, eBay, blogs, images, news, financial information, and many others mobile-optimized websites.

As we expanded the availability of the application across more platforms we realized that the name GoogHelper was a bit too narrowly focused, which is why we decided to rename it as SnappySeeker.

In addition to the brand new iPhone version, we are in the process of updating the BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Palm OS, and Android versions to carry the new name. While at it, we addressed a few glitches with their functionality, and introduced a number of new search sources, including image search through Flicrk, nutrition and calorie search through Calorie King, and more.
