Following the release of the native Symbian S60 application, Google decided it’s time to also upgrade its Windows Mobile-based Maps application. It’s no longer Java-midlet, rather it’s a native app – meaning it should run much faster. And even though I haven’t been able to try it out myself, the new Google Maps for Windows Mobile (version 1.7.1.4) reportedly features several updates including the functional route mapping and clearly marked turn-points on every loaded map. It’s a nice addition from Google, although I still don’t understand why they don’t add voice navigation… Do I smell a premium version, or what?

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.
