Seems like a "fun" site. Not really something I'd use. I searched for some stuff to test it out. Works to say the least.
As a test, I searched for an alternative to iPhone expecting to see results for its competitors(mytouch4g, blackberry, etc). Instead, returns results for "free video to iphone converter", "imacsoftipod/iphone/ipadmate", and even the iphone... Seems like the relevance of the search is questionable at best. The site is "pretty" but seems like just eye candy
