After just two months from obtaining the license, Digicel Group announced its launch in the Republic of Nauru on September 1st. To celebrate the arrival of the first mobile operator, the country’s President, Marcus Stephen, has declared the day a national holiday. Talk about the free PR. 
The President said that they are thrilled that Digicel will offer Nauruans access to GSM mobile telecommunications for the first time. “Digicel’s launch is very significant for the people of Nauru. It is a truly exciting time and we look forward to the prospect of having mobile telecommunications and mobile internet accessibility in Nauru,” he continued.
For the record, the Republic of Nauru is the world’s smallest independent nation, with a population of 10,000 people, who speak Nauruan and English. It’s located in the Pacific just north of the Solomon Islands and 40 kilometres south of the Equator.

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.
