FROG mobile web homepageFROG is a free service which aims to appeal to the smartphone users by providing them with a customized mobile web homepage. Basically, what it does is allow you to select your favorite web destinations, pick the color and icons, and create the mobile web homepage that suits your needs. As you can see for yourself, they’ve made sure to appeal to the general public, hence among the included services are popular destinations such as Google and Facebook. In addition, FROG also helps you quickly check the latest sports scores, flight status and local traffic, or find restaurants nearby. Quite useful, though I still have to understand their business model. Guess they’ll just include ads at some point in the future.

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.
