Bizzy — which is a community of like-minded shoppers and diners — launched Bizzy 2.0 app for the iPhone and iPod Touch, making it easy to discover new businesses based on available local deals or events near you.
The main thing of Bizzy’s iPhone app is the “What’s Happening” list from where users can browse and discover promotions at the local businesses in their area. This list can also be placed on a map simply by turning the device in landscape view, where pins point out the locations of nearby special offers. Users can then further filter the types of offers they want to see by selecting categories such as Shopping, Beauty & Spas, Fashion and Restaurants.
The app also features a calendar, search option and enables sharing via Twitter and Facebook.
Finally, you can create a list of your favorite local businesses (so called Bizzy List) and get updates only from the businesses you like — once connected, Bizzy will suggest additional local businesses by learning from the experiences of friends or people with similar tastes…

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.
