Recently, I’ve been tipped about the very handy app called XS2TheWorld, which “turns your phone into a multilingual holiday or business lifeline.” While more and more people are travveling nowadays, the main idea of this app is to help them find their way around in one of the major cities in the world. But this handy app is not only about points of interest — rather it’s complete mobile guide to the city, which includes popular destinations (musems, restaurants, and other POIs), as well as up to 300 phrases for each of the current seven languages supported.
At present, the application covers 11 cities in 6 countries, but our sources tell us XS2TheWorld is preparing more options. In case you’re travelling to Argentina (Buenos Aires), China (Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Xian), France (Paris), Holland (Amsterdam), Spain (Barcelona, Madrid) or Thailand (Bangkok) – make sure you grab the appropriate Java ME-based application (each city has its own dedicated app), while it’s still free.

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.
