I’ve almost missed this one. I’m not sure just how important this is, but since it’s Microsoft we’re talking about here, it can have quite an impact…
Microsoft has agreed to buy Portugal-based mobile software company MobiComp. Under the terms of acquisition, which is BTW Microsoft’s largest in the country, MobiComp will be turned into a R&D centre of Microsoft’s mobile communications division.
MobiComp produces software that can store such content as contacts and calendars, and has a “tool to enhance mobile social networking to Internet sites like Facebook.” Nokia is among MobiComp’s clients.
No financial details were disclosed.

Dusan Belic
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.
