We’ve seen consolidation happening in the mobile advertising space and now the same is true for the analytics solution providers. In that sense we bring you this announcement involving Flurry and Pinch Media, which have signed a definitive agreement to merge. As a result, the new company’s analytics services will be running on more than 80% of all iPhone, iPod Touch and Android handsets worldwide. In other words, that’s more than 1 billion end-user sessions per month on applications installed across 50 million devices.
The merged company will retain the Flurry name, maintain existing San Francisco and New York offices and hire aggressively… More information about the merger is available from Flurry’s and Pinch Media’s websites. There’s also the press release with quotes from the executives from the two companies.

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.
