Marvel Comics has launched its official application for the Android users. At the moment, it’s made for smartphones and tablets running Android 2.x, but we’re sure the Honeycomb update is in the making as we speak.

As you can imagine, the application allows you to browse comics and buy them while on the go. It’s still not a worldwide thing, though I guess that will be changed too (along with the support for Honeycomb devices) in the near future.

You can choose between hundreds of comic books featuring such popular characters as Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Spider-Man, Wolverine and others. Each comic can be enjoyed either in the “guided view” mode (an animated, panel-by-panel path through the comic), or by using regular device controls to zoom and pan your way through pages.

Way to go Marvel, now would you be kind to release your app for those of us living outside of the U.S. of A? Thanks. ;)

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.
