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.

Huawei MediaPad hits AT&T’s tablet offering

AT&T is adding another tablet to its portfolio – Huawei MediaPad, which is already available in the U.S. as T-Mobile Springboard. Unfortunately, the device AT&T is selling comes with Honeycomb (rather than Ice Cream Sandwich) on board, though we’re sure Android 4.0 update will be released shortly. Moreover, the press release doesn’t mention multiple color options, hinting us the only version the carrier will offer is silver (which BTW looks pretty cool to me). AT&T has already started selling the MediaPad to its enterprise users at varying price points depending … Read more

Samsung Champ Deluxe Duos heading to India

The regular Samsung Champ Duos isn’t good enough for every citizen of India? For folks who want something more, the Korean company announced Deluxe version of the device, simply called Samsung Champ Deluxe Duos.

Huawei Honor with AT&T 3G bands gets the FCC approval

It seems Cricket won’t be the only carrier to offer the Huawei Honor (aka Mercury), with FCC approving the GSM-based version of the device (Cricket’s version is CDMA one) that can sing along AT&T’s 3G network (WCDMA 850 / 1900 MHz). That, however, doesn’t necessarily mean AT&T will launch the Honor, though we’re sure Huawei would like to see that happening. Perhaps the Chinese company is eyeing the Canadian market, or wants to offer the phone unlocked to the American public. In any case, the Honor is one of the … Read more
