We already know that Iran is making nuclear power-plants, but cell phones? At least, I wasn’t aware of that.
Anyhow, according to the senior Iranian telecoms industry official, the first 300,000 phones made in Iran will hit the market in June. The upcoming devices will be sold under the ITMC brand, and will be made in cooperation with South Korean companies (not sure which one).
The country seems ready to give new phones a try, especially after the government decision to raise import taxes on cellphones from 4 to 60 percent in an effort to push domestic production.
Don’t expect the high end smartphones, but still… it’s good to see industry diversifying. (via: textually.org)

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.
