Few days ago, Nokia announced that it has a new partner for its clever “Comes With Music” scheme – Sony BMG Music Entertainment. And while we still wait to see the first devices that will “come with the music” to be released, it’s nice to know the Finish bosses prepare us quite a catalog of music.
Commenting on the announcement, Sony BMG’s President, Global Digital Business & U.S. Sales, Thomas Hesse said: “This initiative represents a critical new way of gaining access to music, through which fans will be able to explore SONY BMG’s vast catalog of recordings for an entire year. We think this business model will encourage users to sample a wide range of material, expand their musical tastes, and listen to more music than ever before. In the process, we think it will provide new opportunities to artists from every genre of music, and increase demand for music overall.”
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.
