CheckPoints, the application/service we’ve already talked about in the past, is now available to the army of iPhone and iPod Touch users across the U.S.
If you’re in the targeted group (i.e. iOS device ownin’ guy/gal living and/or working in the U.S.) and dig the idea of check-in services like Gowalla and Foursquare, there’s really no good reason why not to install CheckPoints. After all, it’s the only such service that brings real-life benefits to the users.
As you may know, CheckPoints rewards consumers for “checking in” to stores and “checking out” featured products in over one million retail locations across America. As a shopper, you can instantly redeem your points for gift cards, airline miles, gadgets or charitable donations, if you fancy so. In addition, there’s the exclusive content like coupons, games and recipes waiting to be unlocked. Best of all, no purchase is necessary!
Among the brands that signed-up right from the start, we find such names as Belkin, Energizer, Seventh Generation, Tyson Foods and many others.
Finally, it’s worth adding that all users will receive bonus rewards points for signing up before October 31. So hurry up!

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.
