FremantleMedia Enterprises (FME) and Zumobi have recently introduced the official American Idol application for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. The app called “American Idol Season 8 Exclusive” follows this season’s American Idol Top 13 finalists and brings fans exclusive multimedia content and news updates.
Among the things you’ll find in a dedicated app are in-depth contestant bios, pictures, news and exclusive video from behind-the-scenes of the on-air show. In total, 78 original videos of the remaining contestants will be released weekly between now and the Finale.
Now I don’t want to whine to much, but I would expect this to be a free app, considering that American Idol already has its sponsors. Quite the contrary, “American Idol Season 8 Exclusive” costs 2 bucks ($1.99) and while that’s not much, it is kinda cheap move. We’re not talking about a charity here, but a very profitable show. C’mon folks make this free now when so little people are watching TV… Bah, whatever – here’s an AppStore link.

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.
