In its “May was our best month ever” press release, Fandango also shared one mobile-related stat, which we find particularly interesting. According to Fandango, 28% of tickets sold in May were bought using a mobile phone! That’s impressive and we like the fact that more and more people are turning to their smartphones to buy stuff online (rather than fire-up their PCs/Macs).
Overall, the company reported a 47% surge in year-over-year ticket sales, and 29% year-over-year increase in monthly visitors.
Way to go Fandango, somehow we knew those Facebook and mobile apps of yours count for something. 
Now we’re eager to know – do you buy your movie tickets using your smartphone? Or you prefer conducting all e-transactions from on a computer?

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.
