Finally someone figured out that we don’t like wires in our cars. The Holux GR-239 Bluetooth GPS receiver is as simple as it can be — all you have to do is plug it into your cigarette lighter and off you go. No messing with the cables, no worries about battery life — it’s all built-in there. Plus, there’s also an option to connect via USB cable in an unlikely case that your device doesn’t support Bluetooth (or in case you’re using some old laptop).
The Holux GR-239 sports a high sensitivity SiRF Star III GPS receiver that can track 20 satellites at once and also has the option to use an external antenna. At the moment, it’s not available in States — it sells for £60 in the UK.

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.
