HTC is once again moving beyond devices, having launched the Best Deals service in Europe. As you can imagine, using HTC’s new offering, smartphone users will be able to access personalized money-saving deals, categorized by their preferences, interests and location. Preferred deals can then be reviewed, bookmarked or shared; as well as sorted by popularity, discount, price and expiration date.
To make this happen, HTC has built partnerships with 12 leading deal providers, including LivingSocial, Trip Advisor, Qype Deals and Offerum. In total, some 1,700 deals and offers will be available at launch, which will cover five markets: UK, Italy, Germany, France and Spain. Additional deal categories will be added after launch by establishing new partnerships with a number of providers and mobile operators.
The Best Deals application and widget will be available on the HTC One X+, as well as the Windows Phone 8X and 8S. Moreover, the application will also be included in the upcoming software update for the HTC One X and HTC One S.

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.
