Social travel website Trippy now has an iPad app, allowing users to share their own and access other people’s travel experiences on the iPad’s big screen. Available as a free download, the application builds on the iPhone app‘s interface while at the same time taking advantage of the extra screen estate to show more information at once.
Users are able to browse travel photos on a grid, or plotted out on a map (and shortly after launch – in a singular photo view), to save ideas for their future trips and remember the places they’ve been.
Moreover, Trippy’s iPad app also provides great utility for travelers while they’re actually on their trip. You can view your board on a map to see how close the places you’re visiting are in relation to each other, search for what friends and other travelers have said about local things to do or see.
The application syncs with the Trippy web site, allowing for a quick access to all your “want” and “been” boards, as well as any custom boards you’ve created on the site…

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.
