Well folks, peer to peer file transfer is hitting the iPhone, big time! An iPhone hacker ported code from the Transmission site to run on the iPhone’s ARM microprocessor. And while this is still extremely preliminary software, we’re kinda sure it will develop over time — especially when Steve bless us with the 3G iPhone.
In the meantime, it’s not advisable to use it over EDGE — the software usually crashes or reaches such “speeds” like 5kb/s — but with WiFi – sky is your limit. Here’s the link to the site from where you can get more information as well as instructions how to use it. That’s in case if you opt to try it out.

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.
