I am proud to present the first Vectrex Locator web-app for mobile
phones: VecApp. Please open www.vectrexmuseum.com/mobile/ with your
mobile device, then tap “Add to Bookmarks” for easy, one-tap access.
More information about VecApp at http://vectrexmuseum.com/mobile/vecapp.php
Main VecApp Features
Displays Vectrex collectibles on different eBay markets
Currency converter (updated several times on trade days)
Internal clock including seconds (using your device´s time
configuration)
Actual Vectrex News (updates when loading the web-app)
Answers the question "What the hack is a Vectrex?"
Hidden Easter Egg
VecApp - What is it good for ?
Find a Vectrex - made easy. I am a Vectrex collector and I find the
most of my collectibles at the different ebay markets. This is no
problem when I am at home, but on the road I can only access eBay via
its mobile version on my iPhone. I created a tiny web-app to search
for Vectrex collectibles at the most active markets, namely USA,
Germany and UK. After the first simple version was finished I decided
to provide it to all Vectrex collectors. I added some more features
and a friendly user interface and here we go.
In the last week we had a beta test and the app seems to work well on
iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Palm and Android phones. I could not check
all devices, if you mention a bug - please contact me.

I've just downloaded the VecApp and it works fine on my Samsung Galaxy Ace
(Android 2.2). The app looks nice and I guess it can be useful for
collectors that want to follow the market (like me). I'll have a closer look
in the next days and will send you some feedback directly. One thing that I
miss, already, is sorting and filter for new items.
Again, thank you for providing the VecApp!

this works on your Samsung, i could not test it before. Sadly we can
not filter the listings, the code is partial provided by eBay and I
can not make changes on that. Sure, I would love to. Actually the
listing is "next ending first". So if you like to have the item that
shows up at place one in the list, hurry up to see when the auction
ends, it should be soon.
Have fun looking for Vectrex on the road, let me know when you
discover any issues.
