Ok, ok, I get it. Everyone and their mama is “going iPhone” these days. NPR is following the suit with its free native application, allowing its listeners to take their “NPR experience” with them wherever they happen to be, using their shiny handset or an iPod Touch. Actually, in an iPod case, you’ll need to be in a hotspot in order to stream NPR’s content.

From the NPR Mobile’s “official” description:

NPR Mobile provides you with an easy to navigate application interface for finding the program segment you’d like to hear. Stream the radio program, read the available story text and view any available image.

Want it? Here’s a link to the AppStore.

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.
