Zagat Survey, the popular “burgundy bible” has launched a new ad-supported mobile website to help mobile phone users around the world find where to eat, drink, stay and play. Located at zagat.mobi, the new site works on any web-enabled phone, even though Zagat’s press release contains the image of the site running on the an iPhone — guess they wanted to use the hype around the Apple’s handset to their advantage.
Anyway, the new mobile website features the company’s signature restaurant, nightlife and hotel content for all major U.S. cities, London and other select international destinations. In addition, such handy options as send to a friend via SMS, find nearby…, directions, movie times and airlines – will make Zagat’s website even more usable for both frequent travelers and regular city visitors.

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.
