We’ve already wrote about Cellufun‘s WAP-based Space Wars game. Instead of using Java ME or some other software platform, they’ve decided to go WAP, hence allowing more users to enjoy playing at once right from the start.
It seems their “WAP experiment” has succeeded, and now we have them announcing yet another WAP title – Chess. We all know what’s Chess all about, but it’s interesting to note how Cellufun is experimenting with advertising supported content by providing this game for free. In addition, the game’s multiplayer technology allows player matching, meaning players always get an opponent of their own strength. This way, playing chess online will remain a challenge. Neat.

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.
