American Express is catching up with the rest of the industry. These days, everyone’s about iPad, but not American Express – they’ve just released an iPhone app, hinting us they are not on the cutting edge of technology, unfortunately. To be fair, they already had mobile website up and running and even SMS alerts, but since mobile apps are not a new thing, we honestly expected their official application to be released at least a year ago.
Anyway, they now have the official iPhone app, which allows users to pay bills while on the go, look up for transactions, manage multiple accounts, and do some other things with their money. Among the features missing for some reason are the ability to manage your online savings account, travel and corporate services.
Still, it’s good to see American Express joining the app frenzy. Hopefully, we’ll soon see them releasing their app for other platforms (Android, BlackBerry and webOS instantly come to mind) as well as “optimized for iPad” application.

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.
