TeleMoose iPhone shopping: Good idea, bad design

TeleMoose is a new service that allows you to easily browse Amazon on your iPhone, or so they say. The idea behind TeleMoose is that you can browse amazon with slower load times thanks to the little amount of graphics having to load.

The biggest problem with the service though is the design. I have not tried to access it with an iPhone, but have used both Safari and iPhoney, and the site is probably the worst designed site I’ve seen for the iPhone. The developer thought they should leave the picture of the iPhone up around the actual service, so when you’re looking at it from your computer you can see how it would be displayed on the actual phone. Well, when you load that site on your iPhone, the picture will also display around it defeating the purpose of a site designed specifically for the phone. To see what I mean, hit the jump for a picture.

There is also a revenue model behind this service, as all the links are amazon associates links so the developer receives a small commission for each purchase you make.
