LG is bullish on its prospects for this year and their plans include selling no less than 75 million handsets, up from 55 million in 2012. Of that number, the Korean company hopes that 45 million will be smartphones, though not all of them will run Android. LG is apparently looking forward to get back to the Windows Phone game with a new product launched later in the year.
And while there’s nothing wrong per se with LG’s plan, their figures are nonetheless a pocket change compared to Samsung’s “global domination” plans which include moving half a billion mobile devices this year, a majority of which (300 million) will be smartphones.

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.
