During the 3GSM in Barcelona, I’ve spent some short time testing out the PocketSurfer 2. Basically, it’s a web-access device that loads everything from a server that squeezes things up and returns to the device. As far as I recall, the device had quite an ugly display with some awful refresh rate. Still, it worked quite fast over 2.5 GPRS network. In that sense, I could see its commercial success in the regions where 3G is not available…
Luckily for the potential buyers, DataWind (the developer of Pocket Surfer) decided to sweeten the deal, by at least making the device look better. As you can see from the image above, the new version will boast some kind of RAZR-like buttons and will come completely in black. We still don’t have any information about the changes in an actual hardware. Hopefully, upgrade – scheduled for July 12th – will involve much more than cosmetics.

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.
