Just recently, Cingular/AT&T and Nokia announced the launch of a special, limited edition Andy Warhol camera phones. The new phone (N73?) will sport a 3.2 MP camera with a zoom for portrait taking, and will support instant photo upload to an online gallery, where the photos will be “warholized”.
The cylindric shaped phone will be multicolored, reminiscent of Warhol’s famous Campbell soup can renderings. Furthermore, the device will come pre-loaded with an image gallery of some the artist’s most famous paintings as well as a ringtone that will say in his own voice: “In the future everyone will be world famous for fifteen minutes.”
The Nokia Warhol edition is coming this summer, with the retail price of $1,500. Hey, it’s an artistic phone, so the price is right… or not! (via: textually.org)

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.
