Don’t know about you, but I’m a big fan of audiobooks. I listen to them when in a gym, when doing dishes, cleaning around the house and all those other “brainless” activities, if ya know what I mean. So I’m personally glad to report that the Audible application is now available for the Android platform!
As you can imagine, the dedicated app removed the need for a Windows/Mac client as you can download audiobooks directly from your Android device. You can browse through chapters, bookmark favorite places in the audiobook and earn badges along the way. Moreover, there are insider information about author events and more with the Audible Newsfeed. Finally, social networking integration is included, meaning you can share what you’re listening to with your friends via Twitter and Facebook.
Audible for Android works on virtually all Android-powered smartphones, starting from version 1.x and greater. You can search for it in the Android Market and download it for free.

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.
