Bobba - pocketsized virtual worldThe company called Sulake, which you may know for their virtual world Habbo, is going mobile to bring its “virtual world expertise” to a handset near you. Actually, not every handset — at the moment their mobile virtual world, Bobba, is available for Symbian S60 smartphone users, only. But they said the iPhone/iPod Touch version will be released in the near future, too. Afterwards, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them “going Android” and possibly other mobile platforms (Windows Mobile?), although it’s pure speculation at this stage.

Anyway, Bobba is still in beta, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give it a try. After all, what’s to lose — you can only get some new virtual friends to hang out, right?

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.
