Now here’s something I could easily imagine sitting at the reception desks of hotels in Egypt. The Phoebus MB6000 is a nice little Pyramid-shaped device that uses the 3G PCMCIA card from an operator, to create a WiFi network. As it doesn’t pick the 3G signals on its own, the “Giza router” will work with all flavors of mobile connections – from GPRS and EDGE to EV-DO, UMTS and HSDPA – depending of the card type inserted into it. Of course, high speed EV-DO and HSDPA networks are preferable.
Interested? It’s already available at X-treme Geek for $289.

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.
