We’ve already reported it’s illegal to use a cell phone in North Korea. In order to make sure everyone’s obeying the stupidest rule on planet, North Korean police is now increasingly using German cell phone signal detectors. Most noticeably it’s near the border with China where people are using mobile phones as they can connect on Chinese carriers.
Regular people in the country are smuggling cell phones from China to stay in touch with their friends and family. Still, the government of North Korea sees this as a major security leak… It’s good to know live in free country…

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.
