Mobile TV provider GoTV and Alltell Wireless teamed up to release two music channels, Hip Hop Official and Altitude, to the carrier’s customers. While Hip Hop Official covers the world of hip-hop, Altitude is focused on rock, indie, and new music — meaning most of the younger crowd should find something of interest to them. Alltel customers with video capable phones can purchase the new mobile TV channels for $4.99 from any 3G enabled handset.
Commenting on the announcement Wade McGill, senior vice president, wireless products for Alltel said: “The addition of GoTV’s music channels provide an even broader resource for our customers who love music and want to enjoy what they want, when they want it.”

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.
