It’s all about timing and Consumer Reports knows that. Hence, they are launching a new application for iPhone and iPod Touch users just in time for the holiday shopping season. Available for free at Apple’s AppStore, the ConsumerReports.org application features expert tips and buying advice “aimed at helping shoppers make better purchasing decisions.”
The Consumer Reports iPhone app gives users instant access to consumer news, advice, and best buy information from the testers and editors in the following product areas – cars, electronics, money, home & garden, babies & kids, safety, health.
Commenting on the announcement, Consumer Reports’ Jerry Steinbrink said: “Consumer Reports continues its mission of providing expert, independent, buying advice to consumers in different forms of media. From print, to online, to mobile phones, and now on iPhones and the iPod Touch, putting Consumer Reports in the hands of consumers at the point of purchase will help them make better purchasing decisions.”

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.
