UK property website RightMove has launched it’s new mobile-enabled website, allowing home hunters and property professionals to search for property on the move.

Although the new mobile site is accessible to users on all networks, Vodafone subscribers have access to a ‘find me’ facility, which allows them to see all available property in the area and locate their nearest Rightmove agent. The service makes use of Location-based Services (LBS), although the press release quite excitingly claims “the user can ask the Vodafone mobile network to find their current location using satellite technology” - which I’m sure sounds more exciting than cell triangulation and the like. 

The new mobile RightMove site is available at http://mobile.rightmove.co.uk - just be careful of low flying satellites if you’re a Vodafone user.
