iPhone

South Korean CEOs went through Time Magazine’s “Inventions of 2007” to pick the most inspirational gadget on the list. Guess which device got most of the votes? Yap, it’s the iPhone which was favored by 26.4% of respondents — or about 155 CEOs (out of 590). And best of all, the poll was conducted by the Samsung Economic Research Institute, giving us hope the South Korean giant’s mobile unit will release more touchy devices later in the year.

A flexible display that can be folded or even rolled up like paper also received a favorable response, gaining 21.8% of the vote.

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.
