In order to get some press attention, YouNeverCall just announced their $10,000 prize award for the first cell phone call placed from the Moon. The new award is kinda cheap when compared with Google’s earlier announcement of $30 million in prize money for landing a craft on the moon by December 31, 2014. Then again, YouNeverCall does have an interesting idea to motivate people/companies/government agencies to perform an everyday task from the Moon’s surface.
So if you’re an astronaut, bring your cell phone with you and search for a signal. Yeah, you won’t catch one, but who knows where the Vodafones of this world are heading…

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.
