We dig the idea that Barnes and Noble wants to catch Amazon. In that sense, they’ve already launched a mobile application for multiple platforms and have agreed with AT&T for connectivity support for their future ebook reader (BTW: Sony also agreed with AT&T on the same matter). Now, the mentioned ebook reader, which apparently is made by Plastic Logic, has been spotted at the FCC. No external photos are available as B&N required confidentiality extension for 180 days (as of September 3rd), meaning will most probably have more details at some point next year. Stay tuned in the meantime…

Dusan Belic
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.
