Local search engine Local.com joined the mobile fray with the launch of the free, ad-supported Local Mobile service. The new service enables customers to quickly search based on a simple “what” and “where” query, access business profiles with maps and get driving directions. The click-to-call functionality is also implemented, as well as sharing function — users can send listings to other people via SMS. You can try the new service on mobile.local.com from the web browser on your handset.

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.
