Shenzhen, China-based Yulong has recently announced the launch of its 3G mobile phone called Coolpad N900. Touted as the “iPhone Killer,” the device prides itself with dual SIM, dual stand technology that can sing along both CDMA2000 and GSM networks. Moreover there’s the “stylish UI interface,” which unfortunately we haven’t been able to see in pictures; as well as the Coolpad N900 Coolmart, an app store full of free applications. Finally, the device supports handwriting recognition, making it — at least according to Yulong — ideal for Chinese users.
China Telecom is carrying the device, and we’re wondering whether it can fly outside the country. It will certainly be cheaper than the iPhone, but it seems far from the iPhone killer, or at least that’s my take…

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.
