Research companies predict that close to one billion mobile phones will be sold in 2006 alone. No wonder so many industries are including mobile in their business strategies.
Smartphones, mobile phones based on open operating systems, are packed with technology and power, offering great features and access to the latest converged services.
Constant change drives the mobile industry forward. Contemporary business people face different kinds of challenges which result in:

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.
