Fring had some great news to share recently, as O2 Slovakia is testing how its users like the popular VoIP/multi-network IM client — subscribers of O2 can grab Fring free of charge from a dedicated page on O2′s website. The idea seems to promote O2′s unlimited data offering with a great application that takes advantage of 3G connection, allowing users to chat with their friends on Skype, Google Talk, ICQ, Twitter, AIM and other popular IM/social networks. The application is available for a variety of phones, including those that are Java-enabled, as well as smartphones running Symbian or Windows Mobile. iPhone version is also available, but that’s another story.
Anyway, it’s good to see Fring teaming up with a carrier, and considering it’s O2 we’re talking about here — if everything goes as planned — I wouldn’t be surprised to see them extending the Fring offer to other markets they serve. We certainly wish all the best to the Fring folks.

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.
