Whatser, the mobile location-based travel guide we’ve already covered last month, just got better thanks to the inclusion of content from Rough Guides.
If you remember, Whatser allows users to get around their travel destinations by following their friends’ recommendations and/or by consulting third-party content providers.
Initially, Rough Guide content for Paris, London, Amsterdam and Rome has launched on the application and will be followed by Barcelona and Berlin, with further destinations planned in 2011.
The Rough Guides content will be available for free for one year for all of you who sign-up before the end of the year. After the first free year, you’ll have to pay 2.99 EUR per city per year.
In addition to the general reviews of top attractions, Rough Guides also offers its “Not to Miss” and “Authors’ Picks” selections — tags will be added to spots to identify these specific places and you can also perform a search for these tags.

About The Author
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.
