It seems Nokia won’t be the only major handset maker without a booth on the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. We’re hearing LG may also opt-out due to the high cost of a pavilion at the fair. According to AllAboutPhones, the Korean company will be in Barcelona, showing its products in a separate pavilion. Just like Nokia, again?
That made me thing – if this two profitable handset makers (Nokia’s handset division IS profitable) won’t be at the MWC to save some cash, I’m guessing Palm and Sony Ericsson, which still lose money, should do the same. What do you think?

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.
