IAC-owned Citysearch, which is a leading online local guide, is out with its own iPad app called cityseries. As you probably know, using it you can find great restaurants, bars, shopping, spas and much more in top metro areas. Citysearch editors are giving you their acclaimed advice, and like that’s not enough, there are other expert users across the United States.

In addition, there are Citysearch’s top lists, great picks complete with business profile information, and local deals in a new digital magazine format that’s specially tailored for iPad’s large screen. The new format includes popovers that bring up special offers for users when the iPad is in horizontal mode along with page-flip transitions to bring the magazine experience to life. Users can also swipe, tap and zoom their way through all the content, making it a “fun and interactive experience.”

At launch, Citysearch supports the following major metros: New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Washington D.C. and Seattle.

Dusan Belic

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.
