Latest research by ROA Group suggests that the number of mobile phone users in Japan will increase to 107.3 million by the end of 2010, up from 96.7 million in the first quarter of this year. According to the report, during the period between 2003 and 2010 the number of mobile phone users will grow with a compound annual growth rate of 3.93%.
“The introduction of Mobile Number Portability (MNP) was the most important issue in the Japanese mobile market in the second half of 2006, however it had a limited influence on the overall mobile market because mobile operators maintained a relatively low subscriber churn rate by offering attractive handsets, services and tariff plans,” says Yukiko Noda, a senior analyst at ROA Group.

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.
