Just in time for the National Park Week, National Geographic launched a new free application for iPhone called (guess) National Parks by National Geographic. Inside the app, you can browse guides for the 20 most visited national parks with more parks to be added soon.
Included are interactive maps for each park, all with filtering by activity and seasonality. Moreover, there are must see and must dos, curated by National Geographic editors, as well as photo tips from National Geographic photographers.
In addition, you can track your favorite parks, activities, itineraries, photos, collect park stamps, and share everything you like with your friends and/or colleagues via popular social networks.
National Parks by National Geographic is free to download, though expanded guides with additional information and photos are available for in-app purchase for 1 or 2 dollars. The first guide is free.

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.
