Although it sells a dedicated ebook reading device, Amazon also offers Kindle mobile apps for Android and iOS-powered devices. What about other platforms? I guess they’ll support webOS the minute HP launches some new device (a tablet perhaps?), but what’s happening with Symbian? There is a big army of users out there, readily waiting for the Kindle app. Heck one avid reader (@Smartfonefan) has even started an online petition to call on Amazon to create such mobile application.
I do understand that Symbian is far from being the darling of the media these days (unlike Android and iOS), but why abandon all those users? The way I see it, that doesn’t make much sense.
Hopefully, this petition will entice the online retail giant to do something about it. Now that I’m thinking – they should make sure their mobile apps work on all platforms, considering Amazon has customers all around the world… So dear Amazon – if you can’t do it yourself (developing for Symbian can be a pain), outsource the damn thing and give us the goods. 
If you own a Symbian smartphone, you can sign the petition from here.

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.
