Compagni di ViaggioNow that’s what I call weird. Apparently, Italian author Robert Bernocco has wrote his first novel “Compagni di Viaggio” on a cell phone! You got that right, the 384-page long book was completely written on a cell phone keyboard, and he used his commuting time to accomplish this (again, weird) task. It took him full 17 weeks to complete the novel. I guess he used the help of T9, but still… Idea – relocate him to work even farther from home and voila, within a year he’ll come up with more books. :)

The “Compagni di Viaggio” retails on Lulu.com for $2.47!

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.
