We are looking for local (i.e. local to their country) country managers to help us add online and local retailers to ShopSavvy. Our mobile price comparison application is one of the most popular on Android in the US and UK, but we need help everywhere else. It was easy to add retailers in the US since we live here, figuring out which to add in Australia is a lot harder for us. That is where you come in. Watch this short video and if you are still interested fill out our short application.
Several of you have asked that we host another AndroidDevCamp here in Dallas. How about we host a MobileDevCamp (iPhone/Android/Palm) on a Saturday sometime this summer? Maybe July or August?

2:00-3:30PM Session Three iPhone
3:30-4:00PM Session Four iPhone
4:00-5:00PM Networking/Drinks (Together)
Track 2: Android

We need your help! We get one or two emails each day from users who can’t find ShopSavvy in the Android Market. There are mentions of this problem in the Android Market support forums, but our contacts at Google can’t replicate the issue (we were able to replicate it once very early on, but not recently). This is worrisome, because most users won’t even realize that ShopSavvy is missing because they aren’t looking for it. How many downloads are we missing? No one knows.
We get lots of emails – positive and negative – and we have learned to take many of them with a grain of salt. But yesterday, our friends at Amazon reported the ‘missing Android app issue’ and they were adamant that ShopSavvy was missing from their Android Market application.
How can you help? Please visit the market right now. Look under All Applications and sort by popularity. Take a picture of that screen (screen grab or just a plain photo) and email it to support@biggu.com – let us know if ShopSavvy was missing. Your help is much appreciated. If we can replicate the problem on a large scale a) we will know there is a real problem and b) our friends at Google might be able to figure out what is going on. In the meantime if you don’t have ShopSavvy and can’t find it in the market just Download ShopSavvy Here.
Update: lots of you have reported the problem since this post. Thanks for your help. Here is an example of ShopSavvy missing from the Android Market:
