If you’ve been watching the iPad 2 launch closely, you may have noticed Steve Jobs was showing off some National Geographic app on the brand new tablet. The name of that application is “50 Greatest Photographs of National Geographic” and it’s now available for download from Apple’s AppStore.
Not only does it comes with quite a few impressive photos, but the app also allows you to learn the stories behind them from the photographers themselves, and see videos explaining how they captured their shots. Moreover, there are so called “near frames,” the sequence of images made by the photographers in the field, revealing how the “perfect shot” happened.
In addition, there’s the ability to share photos with friends via email and Facebook, access photographer biographies, order a framed or unframed print of any photo from the app, and check out photos other members of National Geographic magazine’s community have uploaded.

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.
