Italian railway, Trenitalia, is joining the iPhone wave with a free application in the AppStore. Created by Promptu Systems Corporation, the new app enables users to search timetables, check train punctuality, buy tickets, and change bookings — all while on-the-go. Moreover, it uses Promptu’s Network Speech Recognition (NSR) platform, allowing users to simply speak their trip details to search schedules and initiate ticket purchases…
In a nutshell, it’s one of those apps every Italian will need at some point — and eventually some tourists — and in that sense we hope to see it hitting other mobile platforms, as well. In the meantime, more information about Promptu’s mobile offering is available from their website, and you should search for the dedicated Trenitalia iPhone app in the AppStore (note: it’s not in all local AppStores).

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.
