Sony announced new line of slim external batteries for smartphones and tablets. Weighing around 200 grams and measuring 130.6 by 12.9 mm, these boxes will ship in capacities of 3,500 to 7,000mAh. Charging will be conducted via USB with Sony promising up to 500 recharges. Most smartphones will be fully charged in about an hour and half.
If that’s not your cup of tea and you would rather have something smaller to carry around, Sony will also release “stick-type” external batteries in assorted colors. Both battery types are set to launch in Japan later this fall, with prices ranging from 2,300 yen ($30) to 7,000 yen ($90).

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.
