eBay is one of the giants of the Internet. It took off by creating a central point by which people all over the world can auction off and buy practically anything from the convenience of a desktop computer. Abidia Wireless has taken this concept one step further by offering cellphone and smartphone users the ability to buy and sell goods when on the go.

The company has updated the Palm platform edition of its software to version 2.5. According to Abidia Wireless, 2.5 incorporates new features to support both buyers and sellers. With it users can view real-time information about items won, lost, bought, and sold, as well as see or add items in their watch list, the item’s current bid price, an image, or compare prices in other auctions.

In addition, sellers can now view the status of auctions away from their PCs and get a list of similar items to compare prices and see pictures of competing items.

Abidia Wireless sells for $25. There is also a low monthly fee. In addition to the Palm OS version, Abidia Wireless is available for Windows Mobile for Pocket PC and Smartphone, RIM Blackberry, Java (J2ME) enabled mobile phones with more technologies in development, including Qualcom BREW.
