Somehow I find Palm’s historic “NO” to Android platform making much sense — after all they’ve been investing in their own platform for years. On the other hand, Palm could certainly benefit from the affiliation with nowadays everyone’s favorite company, Google, beyond the search giant’s mobile apps.
In its official statement, Palm said they are committed to open platforms for developers. In addition, they are underlining their added differentiation of being able to tightly integrate the software platform with the hardware design, which they believe gives them an advantage in delivering a great user experience… Hmmm, bundling the software with their own hardware… Sounds like an Apple statement, doesn’t it?

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.
