Usually people are using Internet less frequently during the summer days. However, that’s apparently not the case with Google Mobile apps, which have seen a spike this summer. Completely reversing typical trends for web activity, Google has reported a 35% increase of its mobile apps usage from May to June.
It’s hard to say what this means. On one hand, we could argue how people are getting more comfortable with using Google’s mobile applications. On the other hand, let’s not forget iPhone which comes with pre-installed Google Maps has been launched on June 29. Or it’s a combination of the two — non-iPhone users suddenly realized that they can use Google Maps and other Google Mobile apps on their handsets too. What do you think?

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.
