Since the iPhone was announced we have been thinking about adding eBay watcher to the line up of iPhone applications/widgets. However with Apple`s decision to keep the iPhone development closed to outside world, this has proven to be a huge hurdle, until now.
eBay Watcher`s installation is not for the faint hearted because you will essentially be hacking your iPod Touch or iPhone.
PLEASE NOTE: Currently My eBay only works if you have a "Mac" and a registered copy of the eBay Watcher Widget.
Here are some key features of "eBay Watcher iphone":
