Popular automotive destination Cars.com has launched a mobile version of its popular website to offer vehicle listings alongside research tools and buying advice in a mobile application. The new mobile website is powered by Crisp Wireless’ mLogic platform, and brings shoppers the best of Cars.com. Beside searching for vehicle listing, mobile visitors can access Kelley Blue Book’s Used Car Values, calculate vehicle payments and read expert reviews and the latest automotive news. Furthermore, mobile shoppers will also be able to use dealer locator service, which offers maps and directions to the dealership and click-to-call functionality.
“Eighty percent of today’s car shoppers turn to the web to do research at some point in the buying process,” said Sharon Knitter, director of product management at Cars.com. “With wireless web access on the rise, Cars.com sees an opportunity to bring those shoppers practical applications they can use while out shopping for a car.”

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.
