Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer confirms Zune on Windows Mobile
While this isn’t the Zune phone that many have speculated is in the works in Microsoft’s R&D labs, it’s the next best thing. The media-playing (and presumably sharing) capabilities of the Zune music player have been confirmed to be coming to the Windows Mobile platform. Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer confirmed that the Zune software that…
Motorola Q11 pictures leaked
That rumored Motorola Q11 from earlier this month has popped into the hands of some shutterbugs, revealing not much more than GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi, 3 megapixel camera and Windows Mobile 6.1. Still, they’re the first shots we’ve seen, and it looks like a decent addition to the Q lineup. It’s not much of a design…
Windows Mobile AppStore called Skymarket in works?
There’s no doubt Apple’s AppStore works, hence we’re seeing Google doing the same for its Android platform. Why would Microsoft rely on third parties like Handango when they can do the similar thing themselves? That seems exactly what they want to do, or at least a job posting at ComputerJobs.com suggests so. Apparently the upcoming…
Microsoft pushes 18 million Windows Mobile licenses, misses 20 million target
Some time ago, Microsoft announced to the world that their mobile ambitions weren’t going to be hindered by this or that touchscreen smartphone hitting the market. Microsoft wants to snag 40% of the global smartphone market by 2012. To that end, Redmond announced that they were looking to ship at least 20 million Windows Mobile…
Windows Live Mesh on the iPhone!
At first glance, using Microsoft’s Windows Live Mesh service on an iPhone seems a bit counter-intuitive. Apple has MobileMe to compete with Live Mesh’s cloud-based storage and synchronization service. And, let’s not forget that using an Apple iPhone running Mac OS with a Windows Live service arguably aimed at Windows and Windows Mobile devices is…
Projections put Windows Mobile growth at 50% per year
Microsoft really wasn’t kidding when they announced their intention to bring Windows Mobile to the top of the smartphone market. The Redmond-based company has announced that it expects its mobile phone platform to grow by a remarkable 50% per year in 2008 and 2009 – fueled by a fast-growing smartphone market. Smartphone shipments grew by…
Microsoft revamps Internet Explorer Mobile with Windows Mobile 6.1 – more changes in store this year
Microsoft went ahead and met our expectations of a Windows Mobile 6.1 announcement at CTIA Las Vegas 2008. The revised Windows Mobile UI looks good, works well, and gives the Windows Mobile platform the aesthetic boost that it’s been needing for a few years now. The homescreen has been reorganized with a “sliding panel” UI.…
Windows Mobile 6.1 to be released on April 1st; A joke or what?
According to sources close to Microsoft, the official Windows Mobile 6.1 launch is set to coincide with the April Fools’ day. However, you should know April 1st is also significant in other sense as the first day of CTIA Wireless, so this may happen after all. Knowing this, it will be hard to differentiate between…
Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 powered by super-secret version of Windows Mobile
That would explain why the Sony Ericsson reps were so guarded about the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. All we wanted to do was touch the darn thing, but that would have probably ended in getting a stern reprimand from the ever watchful eyes of the Sony Ericsson booth overlords.Remember that quick video we posted on…
