Kiwi App Preview: TradeKiwi Photo Uploader
A few weeks ago I reviewed the new iteration of the official Trademe app. As you may recall, I gave it very good marks overall, but did cite some missing features. One of the features that went unmentioned was the ability to combine multiple photos and upload them to your account. So unless you could use Photoshop you were in for multiple picture fees.
However, stress not! There is an app for that, at least there will be soon, thanks to Chewy Applications. Let’s take an exclusive look at TradeKiwi which will hit the marketplace soon.…

Win an iPad 2 with Treat Me (Trade Me’s answer to Groupon)
Trade Me have recently launched their latest spin-off site, ‘Treat Me’, a new one-day group discount site which is similar to Groupon.
There have been a number of these popping up lately and even Groupon have decided to get in on the New Zealand market. But with so many of these popping up in New Zealand these sites are going to have to have something the others don’t have to get your interest.

Opinion: TradeMe’s iPhone usage stats are encouraging, but it’s time for more features
Chris Keall over at the National Business Review has posted some stats today that were given to him by TradeMe and reveal just how popular the iPhone is in New Zealand and how it continues to grow and grow. The stats show that traffic via mobile devices now accounts for just over 1% of all TradeMe sessions and while that may not sound like a lot on the face of it, the iPhone app alone accounts for over a million sessions per month and has been downloaded from the App Store in excess of 100,000 times. But how can Fairfax leverage the platform to push mobile usage even further? We think we know.…

Read MoreExclusive hands on – Kiwi App Preview: TradeMe [video][gallery] – Update Available Now!
Way back when we first started this site we wrote about “Kiwi sites that should have an iPhone version but don’t”. The #1 site for us was TradeMe but nothing ever came of it until 10 months later when iPhonewzealand writer Paul received a Tweet saying “it’s on the to do list”, then a month and half ago we saw the TradeMe API released and immediately questions were being asked of an imminent iPhone app.
We heard nothing and clearly if anything was being worked on it was under NDA…. that is until today! Completely out of the blue we received an email from a dev asking us for our UDID’s so he could send us a surprise…. we’re pretty switched on here at iPnz and spotted the @trademe.co.nz part of his email address straight away. Needless to say our UDID’s were sent immediately and below is our first look and hands-on with the new, official, TradeMe app.
[UPDATE - 10:ooam 18/11] – Go get it folks…. it’s available now from the link below…

It’s a mystery up there with how the pyramids were built, is there life in outer space and WTF happened on iPhone 4 launch day in New Zealand. But one of the biggest mysteries of all is: why is there no official TradeMe app? TradeMe have hinted that an app may be on the cards but nothing more.

Kiwi sites that should have iPhone versions but don’t #1: TradeMe
TradeMe. The iconic kiwi site that everybody loves to love. Despite some questionable changes to the desktop version of the site of late, TradeMe is a shining example of a site done right. eBay could well take some pointers from this home-spun online success story, but as far as mobile goes the opposite is true.…
