You’ve probably already heard about NASA plans to build a Moon base at the south pole of the lunar satellite in 2020. They’ll also need to provide astronauts with some communications equipment to allow them to communicate between themselves, as well as to keep in touch with NASA’s HQ and their loved ones on Earth. In order to do so, NASA scientists are working alongside its UK colleagues from British National Space Center to erect a satellite phone service for the Moon. The two agencies plan to launch the Moonlite mission in 2012 as a prototype system for the actual service that will be in place for the astronauts.

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.
