TruConnect is teaming-up with Walmart to offer Internet on the Go, a new prepaid mobile broadband service that offers a “great value for casual users.” The scheme consists of a MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot and a prepaid service plan with no monthly fees. Instead, users can buy Internet on the Go with refill, credit or debit cards in increments of $10 for 100 MB, $25 for 500 MB or $45 for 1 GB and use this bandwidth as quickly or as gradually as they want — unlike some other plans where unused megabytes are wasted at the end of the month. Online automatic refills are also available for $20 for 450 MB.
MiFi can work with any Wi-Fi enabled device whether it’s a smartphone, tablet or computer, providing hotspot for up to 5 users. Internet on the Go services are provided on the nationwide Sprint Network, which covers 97% of the U.S.

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.
