Mobile operators in China have a new mobile content offering for their subscribers – communist ringback tones. So when you wait for someone to pick up the line, you can listed to such hits as “Guo Jia” (“Country” in Chinese), and sing along Mao’s favorite songs, or at least their excerpts.
As expected, these were made to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Peoples Republic of China. We don’t have a song to share, but I’m sure you’ll find one on the Interwebs if you search for it.

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.
