Tezuka Production, owners of the Astro Boy intellectual property, will release two Java-based mobile games next year — Astro Boy Game Flight and Astro Boy Reversi — based on the popular 1950′s Japanese manga character.
In the first title, Astro Boy Game Flight, we’ll help the famous robot boy fight crime in three different environments – space, land and sea. On the other hand, Astro Boy Reversi is Astro Boy branded version of the popular logic game.
It’s also important to note that Tezuka Production will rely on Nokia’s SNAP Mobile platform, hence their upcoming titles will come with such advanced features as multiplayer gaming, chat, rankings, friend lists and more.

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.
