In an interview with USA Today’s David Lieberman at the sixth USA TODAY CEO Forum, Steve Ballmer was asked about the upcoming iPhone. Commenting on the Apple’s handset, Ballmer stated its doubts that iPhone will get any significant market share. According to Microsoft’s CEO, we could expect to see iPhone taking anywhere between 2% and 3% of the market. Ballmer added that Microsoft is working to get its mobile OS in many handsets, even quoting such large and at the moment still very far away figures as 60% to 80% of the smartphone market. Current figures from Canalys go the other way around, suggesting the Symbian OS is still a dominant force with its 70%+ market share. (via: MacDailyNews)

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.
