  • Qik Video Camera – allows users to record and share video with friends via social networking services.
  • Mediafly Video + Audio Podcasts – audio/video streams of popular channels, including NBC and ESPN. It also allows users to organize and discover podcasts and audio, video and radio streams.

  • Dropbox – for Dropbox fans, allows them to manage files while on the go.
  • Mint.com Personal Finance – probably the best personal finance management app out there.

Of course, Verizon also used the opportunity to remind us they offer not less than 5 Android smartphones, including the DROID by Motorola, Droid Eris by HTC, Motorola DEVOUR, Droid Incredible by HTC and LG Ally…

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.
