It’s all about social networking nowadays. Both carriers and handset makers are eagerly adding support for various social services to their offerings/phones.

And now, we have Vodafone introducing a new service called “InsideOut,” allowing users to interact with characters from Second Life right from their mobile phones. Just like with most of the modern services, right on the launch it’s in beta and is therefor free. However, the free period ends on November 30th, when the carrier may start charging up to 300 L$ per minute/message.
In the meantime, while enjoying a free calls to Second Life users, Vodafone won’t be providing you with any support… More information is available on Vodafone’s InsideOut website.

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.
