Even though their application isn’t among the first batch of “more than 500″ apps launched yesterday, TeleNav said it will develop a full-fledged GPS navigation app for the iPhone 3G. From what we’ve heard, users should expect full-color 3D maps, turn-by-turn voice guidance and traffic-aware routing — in a nutshell, all you need from such software.
One thing is not clear, though. As an iPhone app it will be sold through AppStore, which at the moment only lists free and fixed-fee applications and games. Maybe Apple will enable subscription-based charging for select partners? Or, users will have to grab the navigation app and buy maps separately? Or TeleNav won’t sell the application as a subscription service? Some questions still wait to be answered. Guess we’ll have to wait and see…

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.
