Former 4th media, these days known as Buzzwire, announced a beta preview of its streaming mobile media service to allow users to create their own customized program lineup and access it on their mobile phones. To put it in other words – the “customized program lineup” means you can actually pick from more than 2,000 audio and 1,000 video clips with daily news, sports scores, cooking tips, weather information and more, to create the playlist with your favorite content. Additionally, you can add some local tune from the live radio stations around the world to your mobile broadcasting experience.

Of course, the Web 2.0 world we’re living also requires the social aspect, hence Buzzwire provided users with an ability to share their playlists or browse through quite a few existing ones.

If you’re interested, you can sign up for a free account online through Buzzwire’s site or by going directly to their mobile site on your 3G-enabled handset… or wait for your carrier to partner with Buzzwire to integrate their service and bundle it into an affordable packaging. We shouldn’t wait long for this, according to their press release

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.
