With windows opening an online bazar, there’s a new iPhone marketplace in the App stores - Thirsty Pocket. It’s probably the fallout of the predisposition that the new generation wants to use the phone for everything. The Thirsty Pocket is up with an entirely different buying and selling experience through your iPhone. The new kid in the iTune Store is available for free download. What more can you expect than virtually carrying a mobile marketplace in your pocket. For the sellers it’s an user-friendly app to fill their pockets and shoppers will have a big market to for emptying their  pockets.

Going through Thirsty Pocket what I could make out a few things that makes it stand out from the rest of the pack. Let me begin with them

Easier selling at lesser time

Well the app allows the sellers to post rich media ad in less than a minute. Selling is easier and takes lesser time to post than what you did with Craig’slist or eBay. It’s more about fun shopping. You can snap it, post it and sell it in less than a minute. Possibly its the first of it kind to allow classified ads with pictures using one application on one mobile device. As you already know, you can create and browse high quality ads on iPhone.

Easy and Fun Shopping

You can directly view what’s on offer at your current location or elsewhere in US. It’s easy to scroll through what there for sale at work, home, traveling, commuting, or at sporting events. It’s really great fun to flick through pictures looking for cool items. I’m sure things won’t walk out of your taste.

No need to setup account

There are no norms for setting up accounts. Moreover you are not charged a fees.
Having said so much I would be eager to know if had some better apps that could make iPhone-shopping a better experience.
