Sorry. On December 23rd, I received a cease and desist order from Amazon.com regarding Pocket Shop, so I can no longer offer it to the public.

Cease and Desist Order Received From Amazon.com
December 25, 2008
On December 23rd, Amazon.com sent me an email demanding that I stop using their search service in conjunction with this application. This is despite the fact that I fully described Pocket Shop when I applied for access to the search service, and Amazon approved that application. The email I received included no appeal process regarding this decision, so there's nothing I can do at this point. Sorry for the inconvenience, but thank to the thousands of you who downloaded and used Pocket Shop. Perhaps now's a great time to try out some other fine stores like Buy.com, Borders.com or Target.com!
