I would like to preface by stating that this service is only useful for Jews who keep kosher in NYC and the surrounding areas. A friend tipped me off to this new online food order website called CrazyKosher.com. The website allows you to order food from your BlackBerry browser with a mobile compatible version of their website. I personally would rather pick up the phone and order but I personally see this as the harbinger of more mobile friendly services coming out in the future.
What I truly found interesting was the fact that they even bothered to support mobile ordering in the first place. The titan of online food orders is Seamlessweb.com and their website barely loads in the BlackBerry browser. The CrazyKosher website has a separate mobile version that is BlackBerry friendly. Hopefully Seamlessweb.com will learn a few things from them.
Personally in my dream world Digby would make a deal with Seamlessweb to offer food orders from your BlackBerry. Imaging the possibilities… Right now I find Digby to have less appeal because their catalog lacks products that you would want to buy while out and about. For example why would you buy a copy of windows XP OEM edition from your BlackBerry?
