Pointing out the different categories of device that smartphones are likely to supersede, such as music players, games consoles, messaging terminals and digital cameras, David believes that all this functionality will be held together and enhanced by the low-cost high-performance core computing intelligence at the heart of a smartphone.
This unprecedented convergence will bring multiple opportunities for ground-breaking new products and services arising from the overlaps of previously separate devices.

About The Author
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.
