Roughly a month ago, we saw Disney Mobile shutting its MVNO operations in the U.S. and we thought the popular cartoon and film maker finally figured out — it’s the content it should make its money from. But no, they’ve decided to give it another shot only this time in Japan. Somehow, I’m having a problem envisioning Japanese kids running around with their Disney-branded handsets, although you never know…
Anyway, Disney has “reached a basic agreement” with Softbank Mobile to use their network in a hope to eventually reach one million subscribers by sweetening the deal with free “animated film downloads.” In addition, the two companies are teaming up to “develop handsets and consign its output to other companies.” Way to go Disney… NO! Again, stick to content – that’s what you do best!

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.
