Samsung is serious about every single platform they commit to. Apparently, we’ll see them releasing more Symbian S60 and Windows Mobile smartphones in the near future.
Speaking about the latter, the Korean giant is reportedly preparing a new model for launch. The SGH-i740 slider will run the latest version of Microsoft’s mobile OS (Windows Mobile 6.1), and will among other things sport a 3 megapixel camera, 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen with VibeTonz haptics feedback, built-in GPS receiver, FM radio, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, and a microSD expansion slot. Monahan LV 624 MHz CPU will provide all the processing power needed.
On the downside, though, the device lacks 3G and WiFi, which probably means it will be sold primarily in the developing countries. Which, when and for how much we don’t know. At least for now, so stay tuned…

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.
