PLANO, Texas, Nov. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- DealTaker.com announced today the launch of their proprietary Black Friday application to deliver store insert fliers and circulars directly to consumers' iPhones and iPouch Touch devices. The free application is available at http://www.dealtaker.com/iphone.

Unlike existing applications that deliver news and text messages about Black Friday, the DealTaker application brings the multi-page printed store circulars directly to iPhones and iPod Touches, putting the hottest deals in the hands of the more than 50 million users worldwide.

Black Friday is the biggest shopping event of the year, and DealTaker was the first to publish 2009 Black Friday Ads on October 7. But Black Friday can also be a frustrating event as bargain hunters carry stacks of circulars to guard against the inevitable price discrepancies. Historically, those without circulars in hand were left to resort to haggling with store clerks over price.

"Black Friday is a race to get the best deals, and having sale fliers on your phone is a huge advantage for bargain hunters," explained Shawn McCarthy, Vice President, Product Strategy & Development for DealTaker. "With the DealTaker Black Friday iPhone application, shoppers can easily pull up the exact circular on the phone, zoom in and quickly show store clerks the advertised price."

The application features your choice of a listing or grid view of Black Friday store ads; an interactive Black Friday checklist; ads in PDF or image format; ability to email, tweet or share ads with friends on email, Twitter and FaceBook; link to the DealTaker Black Friday Forum; and link to DealTaker's most recent coupons and deals.
