Japan’s KDDI is set to show Apples of the world that the good ol’ keypad equipped candybar handset can look sexy too. Their newly launched Infobar 2 phone is the successor of the original Infobar which was announced way back in 2003. The new Infobar 2 measures 47x138x15.5 mm, weighs 104 grams, and packs such features as 2.6″ WQVGA (240×400) OLED display, stereo speakers, EZ FeliCa support, 2 MP camera, 1Seg mobile TV tuner and the microSD expansion slot. In addition, its battery can support about 290 minutes of talk or 350 hours of standy time. Interested buyers will have to wait for November when this device is set to hit the stores. In Japan only, though.

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.
