Like they don’t have smarter things to do, the French Senate is discussing the bill which if signed would prohibit phone use (calling and texting) in the middle of the class to limit distractions for the students. And while I can agree there’s some point to be made here, the thing I don’t understand is the next part. They want to extend the prohibition to ban mobile phone use EVEN WHEN STUDENTS ARE OUT OF CLASS, during breaks. Banning texting while driving makes sense, this simply doesn’t. Hopefully, this will end with the discussion and no actions will be taken. I’m all against these kinds of bans – if you want to limit the mobile phone use in classes, install phone jammers and that’s it. “Stupid” is the only word that comes to my mind…

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.
