In addition to its Windows Mobile 7 plans, LG also wants a piece of the growing Android pie. So far, they’ve released a single device, GW620 (aka InTouch Max in UK or LinkMe in Italy), which failed to impress many.

Windows Phone 7 Series not coming to Windows Mobile phones, not even HTC HD2(?)
Sorry, HTC HD2 owners, we’ve got some bad news for you all. Microsoft has confirmed that their Windows Phone 7 Series “3 chassis” guidelines will essentially prevent most, if not all, currently available Windows Phones from getting an upgrade to WP7 when it launches later this year. That means all those Windows Mobile 6.1 and…

Motorola could return to Windows Mobile; Plans MOTOBLUR on cable boxes
In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Motorola’s co-CEO Sanjay Jha said the company is open to the idea of making Windows Mobile 7 phones.

Microsoft Windows Phone 7 upgrades to be determined by OEMs
There’s nothing worse than plunking down a wad of cash and investing some emotional currency into a shiny new Windows Mobile smartphone, only to have it become nearly obsolete a few months later when Microsoft’s new Windows Phone 7 Series comes rolling through town. Microsoft knows this, and they’re apparently going to allow certain handsets…
Motorola Sniffing Around Windows Phone 7 Series
Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha has let slip that they’re open to the possibility of making a Windows Mobile 7 device. Last year, Motorola confirmed that they weren’t giving up on WinMo and analysts agreed that Android alone wouldn’t be enough to save Motorola, but it’s still surprising since every one of Motorola’s smartphones within recent…
Windows Phone 7 to Fit into Three Chassis
According to Australian Microsoft Evangelists Michael Kordahi and Andrew Coates, Windows Phone Series 7 devices will need to meet three sets of specifications to be compatible – one for full touchscreen slates, one for sliders with a QWERTY keyboard, and and the third (possibly) for candybars. I’ll leave it to you to figure out which…

PlayStation Network heading to Sony Ericsson phones
If Microsoft can integrate Xbox Live in Windows Mobile 7, there’s certainly something similar Sony can do with its PlayStation Network. Speaking at the MWC, the company’s CEO Howard Stringer said the PlayStation Network is heading to Sony Ericsson phones and some other Sony devices, as well. Here’s what he said: “PSN is no secret…
