deCarta has recently announced the launch of deCarta Mobile Search, a brand-able mobile local search alternative to traditional Internet search engines. The application is primarily offered to mobile operators, directory service providers and handset manufacturers — all which could boost their ROI using the app.
Feature wise, deCarta Mobile Search provides maps, address finding, routing, directions, and freeform text search of local content. In addition, the platform enables operators to change the look and feel of a native application, add content and manage the way content is presented to users.
deCarta Mobile Search is developed in JavaScript to run inside W3C compliant widget runtime frameworks across a wide variety of handset models and operating systems.
Finally, the press release ends with the announcement of the first customer – it’s the Deutsche Telekom-owned T-Mobile, which will roll out deCarta Mobile Search in Q4, 2009 in the UK, Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands.

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.
