Cellebrite — the company which makes devices that allow mobile phone content transfer, backup, and management systems at the point of sale — announced support for T-Mobile G1 aka HTC Dream. More precisely, Cellebrite added the Google Android-powered smartphone to the list of supported phones for its UME-36 device which can read and write phonebook, pictures, video, audio and ringtones from old phone to new phone, over a direct cabled connection.
At the moment, over 65,000 Cellebrite UME-36 devices are being used by all major carriers in the US — including Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular and 50 additional carriers. As a matter of fact, Cellebrite has approximately 90% market share in point of sales synchronization solutions. Its portable, stand-alone UME-36 device requires no PC for use, and supports more than 1,800 past and current handset models.
Commenting on the announcement, Cellebrite’s CEO, Said Adi Ofrat, said: “Here at Cellebrite, keeping ahead of the curve is imperative to the success of the company, and our carrier clients. This is one of the best examples of Cellebrite being the first to support an industry changing OS I have some time. Our customers are come to expect this superior support, and I am proud to say we always deliver.”

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.
