Nokia and SamsungIt’s nice to see two giants sitting at the same table for the common good. That was the case with Samsung and Nokia, who announced that they will work together to achieve interoperability among their DVB-H enabled mobile devices. Two companies will also work to support solutions based on the open OMA BCAST standard for operator partners interested in deploying multi-vendor mobile TV services and trials in 2007 and onward.

According to Nokia this is a significant step, as the availability of interoperable DVB-H enabled devices and services is a key factor in further opening up the market.

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.
