TheWeek.com, which has recently surpassed 1.7 million unique visitors, got its mobile apps for the iOS and Android platforms. Created with Zumobi, the new mobile application is available as a free download, courtesy of an exclusive launch sponsorship by Lincoln.
Zumobi made sure THE WEEK’s app looks great. Users can easily browse articles in different categories, including latest news, editor’s choice, news, business and the arts. TheWeek.com’s popular political cartoons are also available with pinch and zoom functionality, and there are also “social features,” allowing users to save and share articles (and cartoons) with friends via Facebook, Twitter and/or email.
Commenting on the mobile app launch, THE WEEK’s Deidre Depke (General Manager of Digital) said: “We’re delighted that our readers will now be able to access content from TheWeek.com directly from their mobile device. THE WEEK’s mobile app will allow readers to get perspective, context and clarity around the latest stories when they are on the go.”

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.
