If Guinness and Stella Artois can do it, so can Miller. Yap, they’ve made their own iPhone app called “Miller Lite Taxi Cab Finder” in conjunction with 1-800-TAXICAB, a national taxi dispatch service that automatically connects callers with a local-area taxi company.
As you can presume, the application is made for drunken folks who shouldn’t drive home, but get a cab instead. It relies on the iPhone’s built-in GPS capabilities to help users find a Taxi or Limo company nearby. In case you need a Limo, you’ll want to request a quite first before agreeing to pay for the service – that’s also possible from within the app.
In addition, there’s the “cab hailer” feature that flashes to help draw attention from the street, and a shortcut for calling 1-800-TAXICAB… AppStore link is here. (it’s a free download)

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.
