Truphone announced that AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) is now on the list of supported IM services for the company’s iPhone and iPod Touch applications. This adds to the list of other IM networks supported by Truphone that include Google Talk, Skype, Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger. Voice calling is still not supported with AIM, but that feature will be added at some point in the future.

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.
