Sharp-made Sidekick PV-250, also known as Sidekick Shuriken has been approved by the FCC and is ready to hit the U.S. market. According to the specs we’ve got earlier, you can expect the “classic” Sidekick mechanism for accessing the full QWERTY keyboard, huge 3″ screen, 1.3 MP camera and a microSD expansion slot. As for the release date, all we know is that Shuriken will hit the market somewhere in Q4 2008. In the meantime, Sidekick fans may want to give Motorola a try with their Slide (Zante) version, which supposedly will start retailing in September…

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.
