Like to support new product development? Need a smartphone mount? Check out the PON, one of the projects at Kickstarter, created with a mission to provide the “strongest, most versatile mounting system to harness the full potential of smartphone technology in all applications of everyday life.”
Bold words, but the product behind them is bold as well. As a matter of fact, it’s CNC machined from single block aerospace grade aluminum, and can work with just about any smartphone on the market, while allowing access to all phone functions and apps.
Moreover, the PON can receive any 1/4×20 camera accessory stud in three different locations: front, top and bottom; while its patent-pending double locking design ensures greater security to withstand “even the most extremely reckless of uses.”
Of course, in order for PON to reach the market, a number of people must commit their hard earned cash and pre-order the device before it’s even made. The folks behind PON are looking to raise $75,000 and in order to secure your PON unit, you’ll have to pledge at least $79. That may sound a lot for a phone mount, but then again – PON is not yet another mount. It will work with all your existing phones as well as those you’ll be buying in the future.

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.
