Today at HiT Barcelona conference, we’ve seen presentation of the global Innovation Atlas, an initiative of the World Alliance of Innovation (WAINOVA), coordinated by the International Association of Scientific Parks (IASP).
It’s not exactly mobile-related news, but it’s interesting nonetheless. We’re talking about an online (web-based) software/service that shows the globe with around 700 spots that represent innovation centres (nodes) spread over the five continents.

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.
