TaxiFlasher is a neat app designed to help iPhone/iPod Touch users get a cab without yelling “Taxi, taxi” on the street. It’s a simple product which only flashes word TAXI on iPhone/iPod Touch’s big screen, making sure the driver sees it. By default, the word TAXI is displayed in big black letters on a yellow background alternating/flashing with the reverse, yellow letters on a black background. You can customize the display by picking your own color scheme, or even change the text. For instance, you could write such short words as “HELP,” “STOP,” “HI!!,” “HELLO,” “BUS” or “WTF?” and define how fast it should flash — from “slow” to “seizure.” Cool idea, although nothing that will drive your productivity through the roof, of course. Here’s an AppStore link from where you can grab TaxiFlasher for a buck.

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.
