The world’s economy may be in crisis but that doesn’t stop the uber-rich to get new expensive toys. As a matter of fact, Softbank’s newly unveiled 823SH Tiffany phone has been sold out within three days and the device costs a whooping 13 million yen, which is about $131k. To be fair, this is a limited edition phone so there were not that many of these available. Still, when you think about it — one would think with all those people losing jobs, even the super rich would restrain from buying the expensive bling gizmos. Nah, it’s just not worth it, I guess.

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.
