Quoting unnamed European sources, The Next Web reports that Microsoft is looking to acquire San Francisco-based music streaming service Rdio. Founded by Janus Friis and Niklas Zennstrom, who also happen to have started Skype, Rdio is available on a number of platforms, including Windows, Mac OS, iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone. It is available in many countries around the world like the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Brazil, Australia, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway and New Zealand.
One thing is certain – Microsoft knows the “Skype guys” and that’s a good sign something like this could happen. The problem, however, is that the Redmond giant is working on its own music service and we’re not sure whether they really need the Rdio technology.
Unsurprisingly, Rdio CEO Drew Larner declined to comment on rumors saying that there is “nothing to talk about.” Somehow we usually take this as “we’re still talking.”

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.
