Orange UK has developed a mobile phone visor to block out sunlight so 2010 FIFA World Cup games can be enjoyed while sunbathing on the beach or in the park. The France Telecom-owned operator has actually produced a limited run of these products, but it has also provided the mobile phone visor template at Orange.co.uk so other folks (those who didn’t get one of the few visors developed) can make one for themselves.
In the same press release, Orange is also talking about a World Cup-related research, it has conducted. Unsurprisingly, nearly half the population (43%) would let nothing get in the way of watching England World Cup games. Brits are so into the world cup that a third of them (33%) would rather see England win World Cup glory compared with 11% who would prefer to meet the love of their life while just 6% would prefer to see Britain pull itself out of the recession. It’s hilarious! 
Finally, the press release ends with Orange talking about its ITV1 mobile TV service, which could be added to any plan for 5 GBP a month. In addition, the carrier suggests its users to download the free Orange World Cup Live app from where they [users] can access live commentaries, scores, team news, fixtures, match results and more.

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.
