Is your iPhone your wingman for Black Friday?

Happy Turkey Hangover Day -- or, as it's otherwise known, shopping chaos day 2009. As Mike S. noted earlier, Business Week is calling this season "mobile shopping's first Christmas," and indeed there are plenty of shopper-assist apps in the App Store to help you plot, plan and navigate your gift-grabbing course:

Meanwhile, the App Store itself isn't immune to sales fever: plenty of games and other apps have reduced or free prices for the weekend. There are also plenty of discounts on Mac apps as well.

What we'd like to know is this: Did any of this advanced technology improve your experience out in the field today? Did you use Twitter to share bargains or Loopt to track your buddies down? Did MMS give you the power to send pictures of presents to your spouse, or did RedLaser [iTunes link] help you find a better price at the next destination? Give us the scoop in the comments below; we'll highlight the most intriguing shopping stories in future posts.

Same thing is happening to h0mi is happening to me. I can't view this particular post on my iPhone even though I can view all the others. Crashed the app right away before displaying anything.

My wife made her plan out sitting at the table after eating on Thursday by using the "Black Friday", "Shop Savvy", "Target", "Walmart" app alone. And then while out there in the mob of people as things started to slow down she used "Snaptell".

I am interested to see how apps will help me when it becomes Cyber Monday. I know the "Black Friday" app changes to Cyber Monday though.
