Lonely Planet goes iPhone

This is far from being the hot news, but it’s important nevertheless. The company behind the popular travel guides, Lonely Planet, is going iPhone, big time. Right from the start, they’ve launched not one but a series of their travel guides for the platform.

Feature wise, Lonely Planet’s apps support personalization, allowing users to mark places as favorites, as well as easily search through Lonely Planet’s famous content…

Interested? A total of 20 guides are readily available in the AppStore, and one costs $9.99 or $15.99, plus there are some free apps available as well. Simply search for “lonely planet” in iTunes and take it from there.

About The Author

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.
