While I’m personally not that familiar with ComBOTS, their solution should enable “integrated rich media messaging, advanced telephony and reliable file transfer in one easy to use tool for PC and mobile.” Naturally, there’s a PC and a mobile client, and ComBOTS shines in syncing the two. Their recently launched ComBOTS Mobile works on all Java-enabled Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones, with the support for Samsung handsets to follow soon.
The main idea seems to go beyond smartphone native applications and to rely solely on Java ME. And while we all know Java apps are slower than their native smartphone counterparts, Google is pushing Java ME apps, so this may work well at the end. We’ll see…
In the meantime, you can download both the mobile and the PC client from here. It’s free!

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.
