That being said, Yahoo’s onePlace includes such features as centralized and open content management from where users add or link any content they want, personalized views (Collections, Categories, Pulse, Favorites), dynamic content (sources) updates, mobile RSS reader, and smart organization which enables users to group content and create “rich experience around a specific topic.” Yahoo! onePlace is expected to launch in Q2 2008.

At the same time, the search/portal giant announced the upcoming availability of Yahoo! Go 3.0 for a number of European countries, as well as several new European-based widgets that will be accessible across Yahoo!’s mobile browser and client-based offerings.

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.
