Even though we still wait to see an uptake in Mobile Internet Devices (MID) adoption, that doesn’t stop Telmap to bring its location-aware software to the platform based on the Intel Atom processor and Linux-based Moblin. Guess the idea here is to “go multi-platform” no matter what. This is not to say I’m against MIDs — quite the contrary, I just don’t see a significant market opportunity at this point.
Anyhow, if and when “MID revolution” happens, Telmap will be there to offer MID owners its comprehensive navigation solution, which BTW is already used by such companies as Orange, FT Group, Vodafone, SFR, The Carphone Warehouse, O2, Sprint, AT&T and Vodacom.
In the meantime, if you want to see “Telmap in the MIDdle of the action,” they will be demonstrating software at their stand #1E02 in Hall 1 and at the Intel stand #8B109 in Hall 8 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

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.
