LG’s GM750, named Layla, is making it through the certification hoops, and according to some XML snooping, will be hosting Windows Mobile 6.5, a 400 x 240 display, 5 megapixel camera, GPS, Wi-Fi (duh) and likely using LG’s S-Class UI. One particularly interesting rumoured feature is called Chat on Map, which will allow you to see where the people you’re talking to are instant messaging from. Of course, that will largely depend on both sides supporting some kind of common geo-awareness, but I’m excited to see how it’s implemented.
And y’know what? I’m not calling it Windows Phone until one actually comes out, mainly since it’s going to make differentiating versions a giant pain. That’s fair, right?

In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement. With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer.
