Here’s a novel idea – phone with a built-in a lighter, something that smokers from all around the world would certainly embrace. Actually, when you think about it, this phone — actually a concept device, as I’m not aware something like this is actually on sale — will most probably find its buyers in parts of Asia where smoking is still allowed in bars.
The lighter itself is a car-like glowing ember located at the back of the device, behind a protective cover. The only problem I see is how the presence of a lighter reflects on the battery life. The way I see it, something’s gotta give, but having a lighter always around is certainly “beneficial” for smokers… or not.

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.
