    Default IMDb and TV.com


    Hi guys, I've noticed I use my phone a LOT when watching TV on an evening to look up actors etc in TV shows and films. I think it would be great if there was something that could search IMDb or TV.com for actors, characters, film names and TV show/episode names (main thing for me would be put in a character or actors name and see what else they've been in)

    the actual sites are far too big to use well on the G1!

    For IMDb I use the iphone version at ihonemdb.com. That really helps. As for TV. com I have not been able to find a slimmed down version of it, I hope that they come out with one, cuz you are right, their site is too big.

    brilliant site, cheers, just hope they don't remove it (which is why an app would be better!)

    I think they blocked anyone accessing the data NOT on an Iphone or Mac system. The Android/Chrome-Webkit combo is for sure a red flag on their system and they've shut us out!

    Can't even view it on my PC either.

    It really isnt a "mobile" version of the site. It just puts the main page into a "mobile" page so it doesn't load all the front page stuff. After you search it goes back to the regular website...
