Untappd's Mobile Web App - Checking In With A Beer
Called "A Foursquare for Beer Lovers" by Mashable, Untappd is a location aware mobile web app where you check-in with a beer.
You can get badges for when and where you check-in and for each different beer you check-in with. Users can add new beers including homebrews and keep a beer wishlist of brews they want to try. Untappd uses the Foursquare API for location support and works anywhere in the world where there's beer.
Other users can see your check-ins in their timelines and in a public timeline that Untappd calls "The Bar". Check-ins, badges etc. can be shared on Twitter, Foursquare, Gowalla or Facebook. You can also make your check-ins private so that only your Untappd friends can see them.
What sets Untappd apart from Foursquare, Gowalla etc. is that it's also sort of a reviews and recommendations site for beers. When you check-in you're required to name the beer you're drinking and you can also give it a 1-5 "bottle" ranking. Beer names are clickable and lead to a page with some information about the beer along with its cumulative rating and recent user check-ins and comments on the brew.
Untappd uses some HTML5 features and currently supports the Android, iOS, WebOS and BlackBerry OS6 browsers only. I tried a few unsupported browsers and found that it also seems to work in the bada browser but not with Opera Mobile 11 or Mini 6 or the pre-Anna Symbian^3 browser.

Carnival of the Mobilists at Mobyaffiliates
Read the best recent blogging on mobile topics in this week's edition of The Carnival Of the Mobilists. Hosted by James Coops at Mobyaffiliates, the latest Carnival has items on location based services, mobile apps and appstores, mobile social network statistics, Seattle's Mobile Breakfast Events, the Intel Atom Developer program, Skype, the iPad, Opera Mini and Ribbit Voicemail.
Thanks to James for including my review of Opera Mini 5 on Android. This week's Post of the Week competition ended in tie. Congratulations to co-winners Tomi Ahonen for his brilliant expose of the "fools gold" of mobile apps and location based services and Terrence Eden for his in depth review of Ribbit.

Find Your Palm Pre With Sprint's Mobile Store Locator
If you are a customer, or prospective customer of U.S. CDMA operator, Sprint or just want to play with the Sprint exclusive Palm Pre, you might find this mobile site useful. It lets you quickly locate company owned and independent stores selling Sprint phones and service. A free-form search box accepts a zip-code, street address or city and state. Results include store hours, available services, click to call phone number and a link to text based turn by turn driving directions, which I found accurate. An advanced search form lets you restrict results to locations offering handset repairs, bill payment or having Spanish speaking staff.
The only thing I didn’t really like about the Sprint site was the map feature. The driving directions include a link to a .gif file showing the route on a map. Because it’s a file link rather than a page containing an <img> tag, many handsets will prompt the user to download the map rather than displaying it in the browser. The maps are 500×400 px and around 100 KB in size, unnecessarily large for most phones. The maps are not zoomable or panable and unless you are within a couple miles of the store, are not detailed enough to be useful. I’d prefer a link to Google or Bing’s mobile driving directions which include zoomable, scalable maps sized to the handset’s screen.
