During this year’s Macworld, a startup called PimpMyNews.com launched a “talking” news application for the iPhone and the iPod Touch users.
The Web-based application, accessible through the Safari browser, searches the Internet for the latest news and converts text-based stories to audio, enabling users to get their daily dose of information while on-the-go.
At the moment, PimpMyNews features more than 200,000 talking stories across 59 categories, and more than 4,000 stories are added each day. Users can even create their own “personalized talking newspaper” by selecting categories and news sources. In addition, audio files can be shared with others and posted on popular social networking sites, including Facebook, Digg, Del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, and Reddit.

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.
