A couple of Stanford students has recently announced their dating app for the Apple iPhone. It’s called Heydar and it’s the work of Mark Kieling, Shahryar Khan, Matthew Pease, and Matthew Lawyer.

The application prides itself with ease of use. You browse around people in your proximity who also have Heydar installed on their iPhones, and simply hit “hey” (hence the name “Heydar”) to introduce yourself. Once the other party responds with “hey” as well, you can start connecting. All talk afterwards doesn’t have much to do with technology, but with your social skills.

For an instant ice-breaker, it sounds like a winner. It will be available as a free download through AppStore as soon as it’s approved by Apple…

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.

    Another cute iPhone app for those in the dating world is Rate-My-Date. It shows a beating heart (your “date pulse”) that can be made faster or slower with a slider at the bottom of the screen. When the heart beats, a “bleep” sound like an EKG plays, and if the dates goes sour, it turns into a flat line with the famous monotone warning sound from various hospital shows.
    This thing is a great ice breaker and gets a laugh every time.
