Red Five Labs has announced the beta release of Net60, an implementation of the .NET Compact Framework running on Symbian S60 3rd edition based devices. The idea is simple — to make Windows Mobile applications running unchanged on S60 devices, hence bring more apps and developers to the platform. Thanks to Net60, developing for S60 is way more easier, as programmers can now rely on the familiar tools and use C# and Visual Basic .NET in Visual Studio, as well as the .NET Compact Framework environment to build applications for Symbian devices.
The beta release is targeting the System Integrators and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) who are interested in exploring the possibilities of Net60 ahead of the commercial release. More information and download instructions are available from here.

Dusan Belic
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.
