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.

    There are some BUGS (of course) with this new update. There have been mentions of the timestamp for events in your Newsfeed are off. For me, it’s +3 hours. For someone in Australia on the Facebook for iPhone page mentioned it was 17 hours (forgot if it was + or -). Also the same bug has been mentioned by a few on the iPhone Apps subforum on Howardforums.com.
