It’s time for some weird stats. According to Britain’s price comparison site SimplySwitch, 855,000 phones are flushed down the toilet every year in the UK. To put it in the other words, 1.5% of the total UK population is apparently doing this. It’s kind a weird. Maybe it’s the result of their usage — few days ago we posted that Brits are using mobile phones in toilets to bypass office Internet restrictions.
More interesting phone-lost stats: 315,000 are lost in a taxi, 225,000 in a bus, 58,500 to dogs, and 116,000 phones are lost in the laundry. I wonder is this the prime reason why the mobile phone sales are growing. (via: gizmodo)

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.
