One limitation of all mobile phones is the size of the screen. Handset makers can not make it too large, as it would result in bulky devices. Sony Ericsson hopes to solve this with its latest patent that adds a multi-layered display. With this kind of technology, Swedish-Japanese company can add more information on the screen by simply layering the information. I’m not sure how will this solve the mentioned problem, but it can certainly make smartphones work faster — basic phone functions like incoming calls, SMS, etc. could have a separate layer on the display, that doesn’t interfere with the active applications. Perhaps we’ll see something like this in the upcoming P1. Any thoughts? (via: uberphones)

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.
