The company called ZipZone Media introduced an interesting, eco-friendly feature to their Bluetooth Marketing System – Menu and Coupon distribution. The new feature enables restaurant owners to distribute electronic versions of the menus and coupons directly to the customers’ mobile phones, thus saving paper, printing, and other related waste.

To make the system non-intrusive, the process is entirely opt-in. The customer is always asked for permission first before any files are sent.

I will be among the first one to use this system. Waiting for the waiter to bring the menus can be bit frustrating, especially when I’m hungry. (via: SlashPhone) :)

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.
