At this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, provider of the unlimited music download services Omnifone launched the MusicStation Max unlimited mobile music handset programme.
Omnifone’s plan, very similar to Nokia’s “Come with music” initiative, involves partnering with handset manufacturers to give consumers the “freedom to download, play and share unlimited amounts of music, wherever they are.” LG is the first manufacturer to sign up for the Omnifone’s programme, with the first LG (touchscreen equipped and HSDPA enabled) MusicStation Max handsets due to be released in H1 2008.
Naturally, MusicStation Max features a full PC companion product so that users could listen music on both desktop and mobile phones. In addition, changes in tracks, artists, albums, playlists, friends and recommendations are automatically synchronised, without the need for wires or human intervention… Full release is available from here.

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.
