RedFiveLabs announced a new version of its .NET framework for Symbian S60 – Net60 2.1. The single most important feature included in the latest release is the support for touch-enabled S60 5th Edition devices, such as the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and the upcoming Nokia N97. Other improvements include:
- Improved stability
- More polished look and feel of the controls
- Faster user interface
- Major advances in the runtime: performance has improved overall with significant improvements in many sub-components of the class libraries
- Debug build of Net60 containing the Net60 Launcher now supports folder navigation and loads wait cursors and icon resource files too
- The Genesis wizard now generates application’s .pkg file and also allows developers to edit and therefore customise their .SIS file

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.
