Talk about numbers. The world’s most populous country has been the world’s largest mobile market for quite some time now and just recently it has reached the most impressive milestone evar, hitting the 1 billion mobile users mark.
According to China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the number of mobile phone subscribers reached 997 million by late February, and was expected to top one billion by month’s end. Checking my calendar – it’s March 5th now, so the milestone has been reached.
As a reminder, it was in 2007 when China surpassed 500 million mobile phone users, meaning its mobile market has doubled in the last five years alone. Impressive indeed!

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.
