Our Japanese readers may have the world’s coolest and most advanced handsets at their disposal, but for an iPhone they will have to wait for at least a year. According to the unnamed Apple employee, Jobs&Co will release their flagship product across the Pacific by the end of next year. Somehow that makes sense, as we all know how market in Japan is demanding when it comes to the cellphones — who wouldn’t with all those carriers releasing devices we could only dream of here. Plus, Japanese alphabet doesn’t seem exactly as the easiest thing to add on iPhone’s touchscreen. Still, I’ve no doubt that once released in the Land of the rising Sun, iPhone will find its buyers there — just like they’ve found it in the States. You guessed correctly — we’ll watch this space carefully and keep you folks well informed.

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.
