Dopplr Social Atlas for iPhone

Online service for smart travel, Dopplr, announced the launch of Dopplr – The Social Atlas, a free iPhone application that “puts the combined wisdom of the world’s smart travellers in your pocket.”

You can use the app to find nearby recommended places to eat, stay and explore. Moreover, if you make new discoveries of your own, you can add them to the Social Atlas so that other users can learn from your experiences, as well.

Best of all, a Dopplr account is not required, so you can use the app without any registration. However, if you’re a registered user, you can keep in touch with your fellow travellers, find out what city and timezone they are in, and what future trips they have planned. Furthermore, you can view your own planned trips, find co-incidences when fellow travellers will be nearby, and even contact them directly from inside the app.

Enough said. The AppStore link is here

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.
