Lonely Planet announced a series of new country guide apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch, including apps covering Italy, Ireland, France, Spain, Australia and Costa Rica. As you can imagine from Lonely Planet apps, each comes with expert content and recommendations as well as detailed maps for the entire country – all of which works entirely offline so there are no roaming or data fees.
Among the content you’ll be able to read are background information on a country, practicalities, suggested itineraries, and thousands of author recommended places to eat, drink, sleep, shop, visit and see. Moreover, information on every region that’s covered in Lonely Planet print guidebooks also comes included.
When it comes to the apps’ look and feel, Lonely Planet promises intuitive navigation with easy-to-browse tabs so that you’re never more than a few taps away from the information you seek. Additionally you can easily flip between the maps and text.
Price wise, the Lonely Planet country guide apps are available for $9.99 each from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch. Alternatively, you can get them as in-app purchases from the Lonely Planet Travel Guides App.

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.
