One of our more recent developments here at Twenga, has been our price comparison iPhone application, Twenga iPhone Application, which lets iPhone owners use their mobile phones to check the prices of high-tech products to find the best deal before buying it in a store. Using an interface specifically designed for the Apple iPhone, you can browse through hi-tech offers available on Twenga’s website.

In a few simple steps, you can:

• - Compare prices – Which store has the best deal?
• - Find technical specifications – How many megapixels does it offer?
• - Read consumer reviews – Which retailer has the best customer care service?

All the information you need before deciding where to purchase, in-store or online. Twenga gives you the choice to shop from on any one of the 500,000 offers from 500 different brands sold by 1,300 online retailers.

You’re in total control; it’s like having a personal shopping assistant in your pocket!

No more following shop assistants through busy crowds, and certainly no more worrying about missing out on the deals and bargains.

In the present economic climate when saving money is a necessity, we’re finding more reasons than ever to compare prices and shop around for the best products and deals. Even though many companies charge for their iPhone applications, we are giving the Twenga iPhone application away for free. And like so many of us know, getting something for free these days are rare.

We really wanted to create something that was very user friendly, and stay true to our motto of helping shoppers get right to their goal in their shopping search. Even if times are hard, shopping doesn’t have to be.

The application is available in six countries, including the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and The Netherlands.

It can be found at www.twenga.co.uk/iphone and downloaded from the Apple App Store.

With Christmas coming only in a few weeks, many of us are starting to plan our weekends accordingly for the holiday shopping season and trying to find appropriate gifts for all our friends, families and acquaintances.

To make your life easier and make sure Christmas 2008 will be a fully enjoyable, stress-free holiday, we created a Christmas shopping guide for your teenager at Twenga that will help you:
-    Save time
-    Avoid the crowded shopping centres
-    Find the right gift
-    Make sure you get it at the best price

On this guide, you will find relevant gift ideas of gifts for babies, teenagers and even a guide for buying champagne!

Who said Christmas shopping should be stressful ?

With December around the corner, many of us are starting to think about the gifts we are going to buy in the coming weeks.

At Twenga, we have witnessed a significant price drop on a product that could make an original gift for Christmas: the digital photo frame.

Already a good seller for Christmas 2007, this item has now become much more affordable for this coming Christmas.

For example, we witnessed a price drop of more than 20% on this Kodak Easyshare digital photo frame over the last 2 weeks, and another similar drop on this Cibox digital photo frame, making the price less than £50!

Over the next weeks, I will provide, on this blog, more interesting deals on original products for Christmas.

Cheers !

Some of Twenga’s functions allow you to save a significant amount of money.

With the “Price history” function, for instance, you can follow any changes in price to a specific product to make sure you buy it at the right time.

Looking at a product like this Samsung MP3 player, by clicking on the “Price history” button under the picture, you can see that the price has dropped by more than 30% over the last 6 weeks. Definitely useful information when making a purchase!

And to make sure you don’t miss a price drop on a product you’ve been looking to buy, I recommend using the “Create a price alert” function (in the right-hand column).

You will then receive an email when the price of the product decreases.

At Twenga, we do our best to make sure you buy at the best price!
