Western Union and the GSM Association are working together to introduce the new global service that will use the mobile technology to allow users to easily send money globally. I can already feel Nigerian spammers rejoicing, but we should think positive. The new service will help people send their money faster while keeping the Western Union’s way-to-high margins on target. I said positive! 
Anyway, 35 carriers around the world will participate in the trial, which is expected to start during the Q2 2008. Afterwards who knows? With Western Union’s money transfer costs, they’ll jump into the carrier business acquiring network by network, and soon enough rule the world. Nah…

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.
