Video-on-demand service provider Voddler has teamed-up with Dolby Laboratories to launch the world’s first mobile movie-streaming service for smartphones using Dolby Digital Plus audio, providing users with “truly immersive 5.1 personal surround sound movie experience over any headphones.” At the moment that doesn’t include many devices, hence the service starts with support for select Nokia phones like the Nokia 700, Nokia 701, Nokia 603, and the new Nokia 808 PureView smartphone, as well as the MeeGo-powered N9.
In order to use the service, a dedicated app has been released in the Nokia Store. Available as a free download, it is initially catered toward users in select European markets, including Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland.

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.
