We know that Zeemote, the company behind the Bluetooth mobile gaming controller, may be out for sale. We have this confirmed now, as Aplix Corporation announced that it has acquired the assets of Zeemote Inc., in an all cash transaction. Aplix agreed to retain the services of a number of key Zeemote staff including: Jim Adams and Rob Podoloff who will continue with their roles as VP Business Development and CTO, respectively.
Those unfamiliar, myself included, should know that Aplix Corporation embeds its JBlend (Java) platform on to more than 110 million mobile devices each year. Zeemote’s software will be included in the JBlend offering to enable the Zeemote JS1 Controller and other Bluetooth-enabled peripherals to be offered globally. In other words, Aplix will make sure millions of mobile phones shipped around the world will be Zeemote compatible out of box. That could be something, don’t you think?

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.
