Popular mobile ebook sharing community, Wattpad, teamed up with Five Mobile to bring its service to the iPhone/iPod Touch users. As a result, a dedicated Wattpad application along with an extensive library of user-generated and public domain ebooks, is now available as a free download through Apple AppStore.
Those not familiar should know that Wattpad is a YouTube-like community for reading and sharing ebooks on mobile devices that provides users with access to hundreds of thousands of novels, short stories, fan fiction, essays, jokes and more.
Commenting on the announcement, Wattpad’s Allen Lau said: “We combine the large touch screens of the iPhone, our proven reading technology and huge collection of user-generated ebooks to provide the best possible user experience on mobile devices for free. Best of all, you don’t need a dedicated ebook subscription service or device, like Amazon Kindle or Sony eReader, as your mobile phone is always with you.”

Dusan Belic
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.
