Manufacturer of insulated beverage bottles Thermos is joining a number of other companies that use iPhone app as a marketing tool. Their offering (app) is called OasisPlaces and it’s designed to help folks stay cool and hydrated while on-the-go.
The free application acts like a location-aware user-generated guide that allows users to track locations, ratings and even photos of public water fountains across the U.S. Additionally, registered users can add their own fountains and comments.
As you may know, it can be challenging to keep a reusable bottle full of fresh water while away from home or work. OasisPlaces comes with tons of locations where users can refill their Thermos (or some other) bottles while travelling.
According to the official press release, using an insulated beverage bottle is not only environmentally friendly, but also cost effective — in comparison, buying just one disposable water bottle a day can cost an average of $450 a year…
‘nough said. You can grab Thermos’ OasisPlaces from a link below.

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.
