As part of its marketing campaign to promote the 3rd generation Prius in 2010, Toyota has installed 18-feet tall solar daisies in Boston. These daisies provide resting space for about 10 persons, and generate enough electricity so that people around can charge their mobile devices, as well as use some free WiFi.
The idea behind the campaign is “Harmony between Man, Nature, and Machine” and is certainly something Bostonians will talk about for some time.
Best of all, these flower sculptures will soon go elsewhere, reaching citizens of other majors cities in the U.S., too.

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.
