In Depth: Windows Mobile 7:all you need to know
Techradar - All the latest technology news —
The one thing everyone knows about the next version of Windows Mobile is that it's late. Back in September, Steve Ballmer told the Venture Capital Summit that he wished Windows Mobile 7 had already launched but that the team had been "completely revamped"; "we've pumped in some new talent" and "this will not happen again" two VCs tweeted him as saying. Originally, the big feature in Windows Mobile 7 was going to be better web browsing, along with zooming; both of those were pulled forward into Windows Mobile 6.5. So what will Windows Mobile 7 bring and when? Motorola CEO Sanjay Jhawas the first to let slip that Windows Mobile 7 wouldn't be around until 2010 and Microsoft confirmed that. A ...

Techradar - All the latest technology news —
Motorola appears to be ready to capitalise on the demi-success of its Dext and forthcoming Droid phone by releasing another 20 handsets in 2010.

With Google already stating that it expects ...

This means an 800MHz processor (fast), a 1500mAh battery (long lasting) and a 3.5mm headphone jack ...
Nokia N97 Mini UK release date pushed back
Techradar - All the latest technology news —
Nokia's forthcoming N97 Mini, which was tipped to launch on 23 October, now seems likely to be pushed back to November. The official site is stating that the device has a 'tentative release date' in November, meaning that those that have pre-ordered it will be waiting up to a month longer. However, Vodafone's N97 Mini landing page has removed the 'coming soon' tag, so perhaps November is as close as Monday morning. Delays Either way, it's another mobile delay for Nokia, with the N900 recently also being pushed back for release beyond the expected launch at some point in October. The Nokia N97 Mini is a confusing device as well, given that it sheds a ...
