Symbian Foundation has a new member company – Mahindra Satyam, which has officially joined the likes of Nokia, NTT DoCoMo, Sony Ericsson and others. We’re not sure what will Mahindra contribute to the platform, but we do know they’re instantly gaining access to the Symbian Platform code, as well as the ability to participate in the governance of the foundation, and take part in joint marketing and branding campaigns.
Commenting on the new member, Symbian’s Shaun Puckrin said: “The Symbian Foundation welcomes Mahindra Satyam into the community. Our services members ensure that companies with great ideas for the Symbian community can reach their full potential – on time and within budget. By understanding and engaging with the Symbian platform, Mahindra Satyam will contribute to a growing, evolving mobile value chain.”

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.
