Opera Software announced that its has joined the LiMo Foundation. Their idea is simple – Opera wants to have its mobile browser(s) running on every possible platform. That being said, we’ve already seen them releasing Opera Mini for Android, and their browser is also available on a range of feature phones. Guess, this means that some of the future LiMo-powered handsets may come with Opera Mini or Opera Mobile pre-installed — something the end-users can certainly appreciate.
Commenting on the announcement, Opera Software’s Jon von Tetzchner said: “We have always prided ourselves on producing a standards-based browser with the goal of running on any platform. Linux Mobile is a growing platform that epitomizes our ideals of a unified mobile Web where standardization reigns industry-wide. We look forward to joining forces with other LiMo members to keep mobile technology moving forward.”

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.
