One of the largest smartphone application developers, Epocware, recently announced a deal with Samsung to pre-install Oxford Russian Dictionary on the handset maker’s i450, i550 and i560 smartphones. Under the agreement, buyers of the mentioned Symbian Symbian S60 based devices in Russia, will be able to use Epocware’s SlovoEd-powered dictionary, which contains more than 290,000 translations — including modern idioms, British, American English and regional Russian dialects, along with numerous illustrative examples. In addition, the Oxford Russian Dictionary includes “all common abbreviations and acronyms, and helpful advice on difficult points of grammar and pronunciation”…
There you have it. Samsung devices just got better. Now, it’s about time to bring them to Europe and elsewhere. But not only through Vodafone — there are other operators and even unlocked sales channels, ya’ know.

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.
