The Windows Mobile team would like to have a feedback from developers about the missing phone APIs. They are looking for answer to these questions:
- What are the things you wanted to programmatically do on the phone system, that you weren’t able to do?
- From the things that you were able to do, what were the pain points?
- What kind of phone related apps do you write, such as answering phone call and replying to sender with SMS when in a meeting?
- What kinds of phone UI extensibility are you interested in?
- What kind of technology (managed/native) do you primarily use for writing your apps?
- What type of phone related notifications does your app listen to, generally, such as signal strength notification?
- What type of phone related notifications do you wish your app could receive?
It’s always a nice sight seeing the big corporations looking for feedback. If you’re a developer, help these guys out and take part in shaping the better mobile phones in the future. (via: NewLC)

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.
