There’s no doubt Apple’s AppStore works, hence we’re seeing Google doing the same for its Android platform. Why would Microsoft rely on third parties like Handango when they can do the similar thing themselves? That seems exactly what they want to do, or at least a job posting at ComputerJobs.com suggests so.
Apparently the upcoming “marketplace service for Windows Mobile” will be called “Skymarket” and at the moment the Redmond giant is looking for a Product Manager to run it. We’re guessing Windows Mobile 7 will sport Skymarket as its integral part and yes, we’re looking forward to see that in action. In the meantime, we’re eagerly waiting for RIM to announce its app store…

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.
