MobizinesMobizines is a new service created by UK-based company Refresh Mobile, as part of the popular Mobizines range which leading publishers are using to take their publications mobile.

The basic application, Mobizines RSS reader, only needs to be downloaded once and costs only 15p in data charges unless you are on an operator data bundle in which case it is cheaper or even free. From here onwards, users are charged a small amount per edition – on average around 5p (free if you have a data bundle).

At the moment, Mobizines’ mobile kiosk is chock-a-block with great titles. Ranging from glossy monthly’s, such as GQ, Glamour and Maxim through to scandal from Holy Moly and Popjustice, or for news hounds the BBC should keep you fixed.

About The Author

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
