We knew Cobra will release its iRadar app for Android at some point in April. Well, now we have the exact date and it’s April 4th.
Those unfamiliar should know that Cobra iRadar is touted as the industry’s most advanced smart detection system, which uses Bluetooth to communicate between dash-mounted radar/laser detector and the Cobra iRadar app — already available for the iPhone and will soon hit the Android Market, too.
The Cobra iRadar platform consists of:
- A dash-mounted detection unit, providing radar and laser detection technology.
- Cobra’s continually-updated AURA Camera & Driving Hazard Database, for up-to-the-minute speed and red light camera alerts, known speed traps and dangerous intersection alerts.
- A smartphone app for safety alerts, configuration, mapping software, compass heading, car battery status and more.
- Cloud-based services with social media-like safety alert sharing.
Cobra iRadar for Android and Cobra iRadar for iPhone have a suggested price of $129.95 and are available at select retailers and from Cobra’s website.

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.
