Popular online florist 1-800-FLOWERS.COM has launched the mobile-optimized version of its website to enable users on all mobile phones with a web browser to send flowers directly from their handsets. Located at (guess) 1800flowers.mobi, the new mobile site provides users with quick access to popular gift categories, including birthday, anniversary and get well. Shoppers can also browse flowers that are available for same-day delivery, use their existing 1-800-FLOWERS.COM accounts and even check the order status. The 1800flowers.mobi is easy to use, and the way I see it illustrates the right way of going mobile — all the hassle is removed and nothing stands on your way for flower shopping.
Suddenly, we’ve lost all the excuses for missing that important date.

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.
