Remember the Sagem-made Porsche P9522 candybar? The one with the quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) radio, 2.8-inch touchscreen, 5 megapixel camera, WiFi, GPS and a fingerprint reader? Well it has been spotted at the FCC’s website, meaning it could hit U.S. “dealerships” anytime soon. With holidays approaching, we wouldn’t be surprised to see it on the store shelves of BestBuy and other electronics retailers within days or weeks.
It won’t be cheap, that’s for sure, but then again it’s <em>the</em> Porsche we’re talking about here, i.e. one of those brands reserved for the wealthy individuals. Maybe this time, though, even not-that-reach folks will be able to own a Porsche, even if it’s not a car we’re talking about. Porsche is Porsche, right?

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.
