During this year’s CeBIT, T-Mobile Germany announced the MDA compact IV Windows Mobile smartphone. Apparently, the new device is based on a new, yet unknown HTC smartphone which most likely runs Windows Mobile 6.1, and which will start selling from May 2008 for 111 EUR with T-Mobile’s 24 months Relax 100 plan.
Other specs include HSDPA support, 3 megapixel camera with auto-focus, 4GB of internal memory, VGA (640×480) touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0. We’re not sure whether the MDA compact IV is further expandable with microSD memory cards nor whether it sports a GPS receiver. If both happen to be on board, we may have the new Windows Mobile champion. I’ve always considered Advantage to be more of a UMPC than a mobile phone…

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.
