Yeah, iPhone is cool, but you may be the kind of person who waits for the second generation. I know I’m like that. Still, you can’t deny just how cool iPhone is…

iPhone-like widgets

Well now you can have iPhone-like widgets on your Symbian-based smartphone. At m.widgetop.com, you’ll find a bunch of web widgets that can work on your S60 Safari-based web browser. They should also work with other phones with installed Opera browser (i.e. Sony Ericsson smartphones, MOTO Z8, Windows Mobile-based smartphones) as well, but I’m not 100% sure about it. However, I know these widgets work on a desktop browser — tested on Firefox and it works like a charm. Not exactly sure why would you want to do that, but what the hack – it’s not bad to look at that screen from time to time, to remind yourself just how beautiful a phone can be. And in case you wanted to ask – yes, there’s a rotate button as well… :)

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.
