AllRecipes is “going Pro” with a new iPhone app called Dinner Spinner Pro. Available for $2.99 in the AppStore, the application allows users to access the complete Allrecipes.com recipe library, add recipes to personal Recipes Boxes, create shopping lists, share recipes, upload photos to AllRecipes.com, and more.

The original Dinner Spinner app was launched back in December 2008 and has been downloaded for more than 2.8 million times to date. The paid app builds on the free version with additional features, as described above.

The new game in town is iPad and AllRecipes wants its share of the action. The company will be releasing a special optimized-for-a-large-screen application for Apple’s tablet. AllRecipes’ president, Lisa Sharples, thinks that the iPad will be a “killer” device in the kitchen. Their own survey suggests something similar — one out of five people bring their laptop into the kitchen to access recipes. Now imagine if you could bring something lighter and smaller which is eventually protected against spills onto keyboard… Wouldn’t that be of a great help?

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.

    This is a GREAT idea for the iPad. Put it into the stand and it is just like an interactive cook book. With videos to walk you through the entire process.
