As we posted earlier, Ubuntu Linux is set to hit the mobile space. Version 7.10, also known as “Gutsy Gibbon,” will be the first one ever to include new Mobile and Embedded editions that will target “hand-held devices and other mobile/embedded form factors.” It will use components from the Hildon UI, developed by Nokia and used in their N800 Internet Tablet.

Get set for October 18th when the new Ubuntu will be released. Are we about to experience a major breakthrough? Not from the start, if you ask me. Still, we should note that Dell is now part of the Ubuntu ecosystem, and who knows what are they planning to pull. Suddenly, that Sony Ericsson P990i running Ubuntu clip doesn’t look too far away…

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.
