Virgin Mobile USA, which as you may know is owned by Sprint, has recently launched a new prepaid plan called payLo. Available in two “flavors,” it either offers 400 voice minutes per month (5 cents per minute) or 90 days of basic service (20 cents per minute). Additionally, text messages cost 15 cents, picture messages – 25 cents, while the data costs $1.50 per megabyte per day. Both plan “versions” cost $20 per month.

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.
