~Find the Information You Want on the Spot! An Entirely New Way of Browsing~

popIn Inc. (http://www.popin.cc) announces the PC&Mac and iPhone editions of “popIn” beta, a patent-pending browser tool that enables users to access other sites and incorporate related information into the web page they are viewing.
Summary

popIn is a “customized annotating service” that gives you the kind of information you want, about the word you need to know, when you need to know it. Detailed information about the search term is temporarily embedded right in the web page you are reading, so when you finish reading the explanation, your eyes are exactly at the point where you should resume reading the original document, saving you the trouble of having to finding your place again.
Features

popIn is a patent-pending browser tool that allows users to select a word and find and integrate related information about that word from other websites. Moreover, it is browser- and device-independent, and is especially powerful when used on small screen mobile devices such as the iPhone.

With this announcement, popIn has released a total of two versions — popIn on PC&Mac for personal computers, and popIn on iPhone for the iPhone. Moreover, we now provide six services with especially high user demand: a text search service, an image search service, a video search service, a book search service, a wikipedia service, and a map service.

What makes “popIn on iPhone” especially powerful is the addition of the “popSelect” application, developed in-house at popIn Inc. popSelect allows users to select text on the iPhone’s browser, enabling users to look up words they are interested with ease of use approaching the PC&Mac version of popIn.

On the iPhone, whose browser lets you browse the Web with the ease of a PC&Mac browser, “popIn on iPhone” now lets you search for the details of the words you’re interested in with ease that approaches that of “popIn on PC & Mac”
