Fans of the Irish beer, this is an iPhone app for you. It’s called Guinness Pub Finder, and as you can guess for yourself, it allows you to locate a nearby pub, wherever you happen to be in the U.S. Actually, not everywhere, as in some states this feature isn’t legal. For those matters, Guinness is not to blame – you’ll have to contact you local state government.
Anyway, in addition to helping you find a place to get a good beer (“Locate a Pint”), the application also has another feature (“Know your Pint”), which shows you how to pour the perfect pint of Guinness in 6 steps. Finally, there’s DRINKIQ, with useful alcohol FAQs.
Now I would call this a great marketing, except that the application is not free. I guess some ongoing maintenance is required to keep the database of all the pubs up to date, but still, $1.99 seems too much for something that should essentially be available free of charge. Or not, you be the judge. AppStore link is here.

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.
