Pardon me but I’m not sure I need a mobile app for parking payments. Sending a simple SMS is all it takes (at least in most European countries). Apparently, Parkmobile doesn’t think this way, hence they’ve launched a dedicated application for the iPhone users.
The free app requires that you have a Parkmobile account, which you can open for free from their website. Once that is set, you can grab the application (again for free) and enjoy the freedom of paper-free parking payments.
As I said it before, why car registration is needed is beyond me – it’s not like there are 10 people with same car plates.
Anyway, if you own or drive more than one car, you can enter all of them in the application. Likewise, you can modify your entries at any point.
And that’s about it. If you live in the area Parkmobile covers and also own an iPhone, you should grab their app. Otherwise, forget about it.

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.
