Naoki Ogishi from eBay's Mobile team announces a new application to access eBay from your iPod or iPhone.  Here are the details:

We've designed a better way for iPhone or iPod Touch users to access eBay. It's a free streamlined download from Apple's App Store, designed and built from the ground up specifically for your iPhone or iPod Touch. We've just released the first version which lets you search eBay, manage your My eBay and bid on items.

Here's how to install it:

# If you're at a computer with iTunes installed, you can get it directly from the download page in iTunes <http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=282614216&mt=8>.

# If you have your iPhone or iPod Touch in front of you, just click the App Store icon and search for "eBay"—you can't miss our bright yellow icon ,http://pages.ebay.com/mobile/iphone.html>.

I think you'll be amazed to see how fun it is to explore eBay using the touch interface on iPhone or iPod Touch.

In order to install eBay for iPhone, you must have the iPhone version 2.0 software installed. For more information, visit our eBay on iPhone page.

Sincerely,

Naoki Ogishi
