GeoVector has launched a new version (2.0) of its World Surfer app for the Apple iPhone and Android-powered devices. The updated application adds text search and augmented reality to the mix, allowing users to point their phones in a particular direction to search for retailers, restaurants, clean restrooms and other points of interest such as historical and some other sites. Likewise, you can rely on World Surfer 2 to verify the distance, location and direction of some destination.
And as you find something of interest and afterwards decide it’s the place you want to return later, you can add it to your Favorites, which can be easily accessed at some later point.
AppStore link is here (it’s a free app), whereas Android users should search for “world surfer” in the Android Market.

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.
