Samsung used its annual developer day at Mobile World Congress to announce the new Samsung Wallet app. We don’t have all the details yet but as far as we’ve understood, it’s an app made to rival Apple’s Passbook, allowing user to securely store important information such as tickets, boarding passes, cards and coupons.
The API will be released in May of this year and in the meantime only a select group of developers can try it out, and eventually tie-in their apps with Sammy’s service/app. It remains to be seen whether the upcoming Galaxy S IV will ship with Samsung Wallet on board…

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.
