At this year’s CES, it was Samsung which shined more than any other handset manufacturer, as the Korean giant received 13 International CES Innovations 2008 Design and Engineering Awards.
In the wireless handset accessories category, the Samsung UbiCell was named the Best of Innovations, which is awarded to the most highly honored products in each category. In addition, four of Samsung’s Bluetooth headsets were awarded as honorees — including the Bang & Olufsen designed WEP420, WEP410 (the one I have), small quarter-sized WEP500, and the WEP430, a headset that wraps around the ear and holds the headset in a “smooth, flat place over the ear canal.”
Eight of Samsung’s handsets received Design and Engineering Honorees in the wireless handsets category — including the UpStage (SPH-m620), Juke (SCH-u470), SCH-i760, FlipShot (SCH-u900), SCH-u620, Blast (SGH-t729), BlackJack II (SGH-i617) and Fin (SPH-a513).

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.
