NetFront Browser

ACCESS, the company which is best known as an owner of the Garnet (Palm) OS, announced that comScore has once again confirmed NetFront Browser as the leading mobile browser deployed on handsets in the United States, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy and Spain. The feature phone web browser is available in 28% of handset models shipped in the U.S., rising from 27% noted in a comScore study earlier this year. NetFront Browser also maintained its leading position in the European markets surveyed.

Which brings me to the main point – smartphones are still used by a (vocal) minority of users, myself included. Hopefully that will change as prices go down…

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.
