Why use some of the existing technologies when you can have the technology of your own. Obviously, T-DMB and DVB-H were not good enough for the Chinese authorities, as they’ve just approved and issued the China Digital Multimedia Broadcast (CDMB) mobile TV handset standard. The new standard is mainly drafted by CECT, the operating subsidiary of Qiao Xing Mobile, and is based on the China-approved Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) standard.
Next in the pipeline for the new mobile TV standard is submission to the Standardization Administration of the People’s Republic of China as one of the candidates of the national standard for mobile TV handsets. A decision, which could mess-up handset makers’ plans who already invested heavily in either T-DMB or DVB-H, should be reached in a few months. (via: ChinaTechTimes)

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.
