InfoSpace’s location-based search service is already known to many mobile phone users for its quick access to key information and the relevancy of search results (powered by FAST engine). Earlier this month they’ve partnered with Virgin Mobile to provide its subscribers with the ability to search the web and WAP sites, as well as Virgin Mobile’s own portal and mobile storefront.
Now, the search service provider is looking forward to ride the iPhone wave – to bring its services to the iPhone users. In that sense, they’ve prepared a special iPhone-style mini-site that gives users of the Apple’s handset access to InfoSpace Find It! page. From there, users can access various kinds of information or search for them in a simple manner. Best of all, thanks to the Apple’s “Web 2.0 app rule” you can already see how InfoSpace’s new service looks like.

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.
