So far we got used to see innovation coming from Hutchinson’s 3 network. Now they’ve added a new service allowing pay-as-you-go access to 3G network. What this means is that next time you visit UK, you’ll be able to have broadband virtually everywhere — or at least where 3′s 3G network reaches (i.e. Metro areas).
The 3G access card costs 10 pounds, and afterwards you’ll pay just 2.60 GBP per week. In addition — and as we said this should appeal to numerous tourists in Britain — you don’t need to have a UK address nor to provide any form of ID. Just set the AP to “three.co.uk” and you’re ready to rock!
However, one thing that bugs me is that in theory you are not allowed to tether PCs using this method. But in practice, it works! Too bad I won’t be visiting Britain anytime soon, but our very own Stefan will be at the Symbian Smartphone Show and I’m sure he’ll find this service useful!

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.
