NTT DoCoMo prepared a new device specially targeting older people. The Raku-Raku Phone Basic brings a set of useful features for senior citizens, enabling them to more easily understand the voice from the other side of the line. Feature “slow voice” slows down the spoken words, while “clear voice” reduces surrounding noise. Furthermore, the phone can automatically read out text from emails or web pages, and even announce incoming caller IDs. Plus, there’s a pedometer that can work out daily calorie consumption.

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.
