The new Edge Packer version features commandline support, various enhancements of the file format and lots of improvements in the GUI.

Other improvements of the new Edge SDK include the addition of several new time related functions, functions to use relative file paths and emulate and manipulate the current working directory, additions to the INI file class, fixes for a few 3D lightning and texture mapping issues and various other enhancements and bugfixes. A full list of additions and changes can be viewed in the release history.

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.
