Adobe FlashCast technology enables personalized, intuitive data services through a new generation of Adobe Flash Player compatible mobile applications called channels. Users will be able to easily discover and enjoy up-to-the-minute, always-on channels with a breadth of information, including sports, weather, news, entertainment, music and more. Rich content is packaged in an engaging way, with an easily navigable and branded user interface that is designed to differentiate and drive customer loyalty.
Verizon Wireless’s FlashCast service is expected to include a series of basic and premium channels across a wide variety of handsets. Premier content providers and leading media brands are currently building channels that are expected to be available for Verizon Wireless subscribers.

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.
