Again and again, we enjoy hearing stories involving mobile technologies usage in everyday’s lives. That said, we’re glad to report that as part of its e-government efforts, the Dubai Public Prosecution (DPP) has recently launched a new SMS service for both the general public, as well as lawyers and prosecutors, to enable them to find out details of specific cases.
At present, the new service is limited to the Judiciary and Public Prosecution areas but is expected to expand to other government authorities in the future. The cost of using it is AED 60 per SMS, which is not much considering the convenience.

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.
