Verizon and mobile content provider Viva Vision launched the first SlideShow application for users with Get It Now enabled handsets – The Car and Driver SlideShow. As you can guess, the new application features automotive photography from the famous magazine.
For the monthly price of $4.49, automotive enthusiasts can view more than 100 images per month of the latest concept cars, speed vehicles and automobiles featured in Car and Driver magazine. The images refresh twice a week and come packaged in seven different SlideShow categories — including Concept Cars, Editor’s Picks, Hot Cars and Luxury Cars — each containing 10 images that the SlideShow scrolls through in sequence. In addition, users can control the playback of each SlideShow (pause, rewind and fast-forward), as well as vote on and save favorite images…

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.
