USB, Mini, Micro – What is what?
I am not ashamed to admit it, but I have thought all along that a certain connector was micro USB this whole time, but I was wrong. I did a video last night of Sprint’s Samsung Intrepid Windows Mobile phone and I accused the phone of having a proprietary connector. I was corrected, I disagreed, I...
Samsung Intrepid from Sprint – Unboxing and Hardware Tour
Yesterday, I got my hands on Sprint’s 1st Windows Mobile 6.5 device, the Samsung Intrepid. It’s Sprint’s replacement for the Ace and is very similar to AT&T’s Samsung Epix. It was announced a little over a month ago by Samsung and Sprint. It runs Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, meaning th...

Paul Thurrott over at Winsupersite has posted part one of his review of WM6.5 and has made some interesting comments on the improvements made to the Mobile OS and how to him they are not as bad as many claim, rather some are better than what the iPhone has to offer. What make this review interest...

Some Windows Mobile Love From LG Hits the FCC
Phone Scoop found a new phone on the FCC site today. It’s for the LG GM730F, which has the frequencies to be an AT&T 3G phone. It’s got WiFi and Bluetooth as expected. This phone hasn’t been announced, but the draft of the user’s manual mentions some AT&T services, so it makes sense to as...

Wow. This is going to be a huge blow to stand alone GPS makers and software companies. Google announced Google Maps Navigation today. This is initially going to be US only and 1st comes to Android 2.0, but the buzz says that versions for iPhone and Windows Mobile are in the works. I’ll believe that...

Ok, Here’s another surprise – iPhoneMVP.com
Back when the iPhone first came out, I stood in line in the rain and bought the original iPhone. I still have that one today. I used it for a couple weeks and went back to Windows Mobile.

Arrington on Android Fragmentation
Imagine if Windows developers had to build different versions of their applications for different PC manufacturers. Or even different versions for various models by a single manufacturer. That’s what some Android developers are saying they are facing now.

Verizon Announces Windows Mobile 6.5 Powered HTC Imagio
Anyhow, this is expected to be available October 6th, Windows Mobile 6.5 Day, for $199 after rebates with the typical 2 year contract. The headline over at MobileCrunch was more focused towards this being the 1st “Smartphone” with vCast, but I think it being their 1st official WM 6.5 device i...

Ballmer Does the Numbers
Clearly Microsoft continues to view their mobile offerings as just an extension of their core desktop/notebook business and I think that is a good thing. Time and time again Microsoft has said that they feel the transfer between phone and PC should be seamless and invisible, while Apple s...

Opinion: Samsung’s OmniaPRO a WinMo
At a glance, I thought Samsung’s TouchWiz would be a stand-alone UI but apparently the Samsung B7610 OmniaPRO skins Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional into a surprisingly user friendly interface. From experience I’ve known WinMo to be a very versatile mobile operating system, but becaus...

I Want a New Drug
And while I’m at it, I have to say I am sick of using a mouse. I only have two hands and the mouse is slowing me down. It’s also time for a new desktop user interface that allows two handed use or we will be forced to evolve into three-handed people.

Review - Palm Treo Pro
The Palm Treo Pro is a Windows Mobile phone that breaks out of the typical, yet popular, Treo mold that we’ve all become familiar with. The progression has gone from the early Treos with the big antenna to the sleek, antenna-less Treo 750, to the smaller (non Windows Mobile) Centro, to the Tr...

Yahoo Go 2.0 WM review
Like Google mobile on a WAP phone, Yahoo Go attempts to reformat web pages for the small screen. The results are often time disastrous. On a Windows Mobile device, Yahoo Go should use PIE to render the pages. Here is an example of how Ebay Motors and Craigslist appear in Yahoo Go 2.0.
