Japanese carrier KDDI is about to introduce a great new phone to its users. The Hitachi-made W51H is a part of the company’s “win” series and integrates AuthenTec’s AES1510 fingerprint sensor as a standard feature. Interesting thing is that the sensor is located bellow the large screen — meaning there is no separate fingerprint space on the phone. The screen itself is an impressing piece of technology. It is 2.9″ wide and displays resolution of up to 280×800 pixels. Furthermore, the screen flips and swivels for easy reading while browsing mobile web pages.
Users of the W51H will be able to use the fingerprint sensor for mobile ticketing and other mobile payment services. The carrier will introduce the handset for about $150 with an appropriate contract. (via: MobileWhack)

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.
