Mexens Technology announced the availability of Navizon on Blackberry devices. Users that are not familiar with Navizon should know that this software allows them to:
- see where they are on a map and easily find their way to their next destination
- see the whereabouts of their friends or coworkers right from their mobile device
- search for bars or restaurants right around where they are
Navizon’s main strength is that it doesn’t require a GPS to provide location based services. Instead it uses wireless signals triangulation, so called Navizon’s Virtual-GPS, to spot user’s location on a map. The new version of Navizon comes bundled with MGMaps, the Java-based mobile mapping software.
Navizon is freely available for download on the official website. Virtual GPS service works for a 15 day evaluation period and can be licensed for $24.99 after the trial’s expiration.

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.
