Although we still wait Apple to announce its shiny handset in Canada, people have already spotted “iPhones” being sold for a single Canadian dollar a piece. As you can figure out for yourself, there’s something wrong with this. Actually, iPhones are cheap $1 headphones manufactured by little known company Electra, which supplies the Dollarama bargain stores chain. And while we know Apple hasn’t succeeded to secure the “iPhone” name in Canada so far — Comwave is using the name to promote its VoIP phone services — something tells us Jobs&Co are in the midst of argument with their lawyers as we speak. Anyway, if you happen to stumble on these headsets, I would suggest buying them — not to use them, but to own a piece of history. I doubt they’ll be on the market for long time…

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.
