AP is bringing its “Today in History” content to the Android community. The newly released app readily waits for those willing to pour out a buck (99 cents) in the Android Market.
According to AP, the application aims at history buffs of all ages, including teachers, parents and kids. Content includes events and photos from AP’s archive, including a “Highlight in History” screen with a photo and a related sliding picture puzzle game. Plus there are celebrity and notable birthdays on that day.
The screenshot above illustrate the application working on Monday, February 22nd. As you can see, it’s Washington’s birthday, as well as the late U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy and Hollywood celeb Drew Barrymore’s birthdays. It’s also the 30th anniversary of the U.S. hockey team’s victory over the Soviet Union in the semifinals of the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York.

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.
