A new mobile Linux distribution is coming, as Ubuntu Linux developers discuss details of the new Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded project at the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Seville, Spain. The plan is to extend the open-source software development to handheld Internet-enabled devices, and to roll-out the first version of Ubuntu Mobile in October, together with the new Ubuntu 7.10 version.
Ubuntu programmers will develop a mobile version of their Debian-based Linux operating system in collaboration with Intel Corp., which plans a new low-power processor and chipset architecture designed to allow full Internet capability on mobile devices.
Those not familiar with Ubuntu, should know it is rapidly becoming the most popular Linux distribution. Lately, Dell announced plans to preload Ubuntu Linux on its upcoming Linux desktop PCs and laptops. (via: PCWorld)

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.
