Nexedi, the creator of ERP5, free open source ERP platform,
has released the first open source ERP for smartphones today – ERP5 Mobile.
The addition of ERP5 Mobile to the collection of freely available Business Templates makes it possible to access ERP5 from any web enabled mobile device such as the Nokia E61 smartphone.
The web enabled and standard compliant Nokia E61 smartphone was certified for ERP5 Mobile as “reference development environment”. The Nokia E61 smartphone was selected because of its effective design and because of the implication of Nokia (with the exception of its patent department) in favour of open source / free software such as Python.
ERP5 Mobile can be downloaded from the public repository at ERP5.

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.
