Sports Illustrated found a neat way to re-invent itself and make few dimes along the way. Their idea – prepare an iPhone app with models from the 2009 Swimsuit Issue. Yeah we know, the Swimsuit issue was released back in February, but it’s better late than never.
Not surprisingly, considering Apple’s puritan policy, SI is marketing the application as the “world’s sexiest app” with a 17+ age rating.
Features include bikini photos of 20 models including Brooklyn Decker and Danica Patrick, as well as some “breathtaking” clips. Nothing spectacular, but as I said, it’s as close to porn as you can get on the iPhone.
Finally, there’s a built-in sports calendar with different Swimsuit model each month for fans to keep track of up to six different pro and college teams.
The question is – is it worth paying 3 bucks ($2.99)? You be the judge, AppStore link is here.

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.
