Windows Mobile 7 to be announced at MWC

microsoft-windows-phone-logo

A chance for Microsoft to steal a little lime light has been rumoured and now confirmed. Windows Mobile 7 will make an appearance in a couple of weeks according to CFO Peter Klein. Conveniently this time scale falls over the period of Mobile World Congress this year.

There has been growing speculation that there will be Zune integration or possibly two different operating systems altogether over the last few weeks however, its safe to say the our wait is almost over and we will be able to put to bed all the rumours by the middle of February.

How does the iPad weigh up against the competition?

500x_slate_showdown_chart_final

Gizmodo have taken a look at all the features of the iPad and drawn up a simple chart to compare with the rival tablets hitting the market in the coming months. Most is purely speculatory however it still gives a good idea of where these devices fail and which ones are worth your attention.

LG Pop Out Some New Colours

Following (or pre-dating, whichever is factually correct) the colour change of the Nokia X6 “Comes Without Music” it’s the turn of LG to change the colour of one if it’s popular handsets.

The LG GD510 POP is being released in the amazing amount of 5 different colour variants: Silver, Pink (Yes Pink), Brown (or Bronze as I cant make it out), Purple and Black.

At the moment there has been no confirmed release date or price for the GD510 Colours however I would fully expect that they will try getting them out the door in time for Valentines day to ensure maximum sales potential.

Foursquare for Windows phone now in Beta

The app is only available for touch screen Windows phones today. The .NET Compact Framework v3.5 is a pre-requisite for you to be able to run the application on the phone. You’d also need a phone that runs either Windows Mobile 6.1 or a Windows Mobile 6.5.

You can get the goods by emailing [email protected] or submitting your email address in this webform:http://touchality.com/WinMoSquare/

This is a beta. We definitely want to add features to expose the leaderboard, add new friends on the fly, and incorporate any new APIs that Foursquare may expose. There are also plans to submit this application to theWindows Marketplace for Mobile, and that will happen as soon as we hit v1 of the app and we’re confident that we’re beyond a beta.

Dell Mini 5 Spotted

Q: If you were walking down the street and you happened to bump into Michael Dell  (Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Dell) what would you say to him?

A: Who know’s but a nice joke about him being one of the sales guys is a nice way to start off any conversation.

You may be wondering what in the hell I’m babbling about, well, one of TechCrunch’s roving reporters caught up with Michael on the street and well.

It should be interesting to see what comes of this but all I can tell you at the moment, that Michael didn’t want to is that the Dell Mini 5 is rumoured to feature a Snapdgragon 1 GHz CPU, 2 Micro SD slots, a 3G sim card slot and has a 1530mAh battery capacity.

If anyone can translate this next video then you should be able to tell us a lot more.

I’m not generally a fan of tablet devices but give me an android powered device with a 5MP camera and you might well convert me (do you hear that Dell? Give me.).

Toshiba Roadmap Leaks TG02 and TG03

A recent leak of the Toshiba 2009 / 2010 roadmap has revealed some very interesting information about two upcoming handsets by the name of TG02 and TG03.

Roadmap

Both handsets will be powered by a Snapdragon 1 Ghz CPU and aren’t a big improvement on the existing TG01. Strangely the TG01, TG02 and TG03 all have the same dimension of  129 x 70 x 9.9 mm, 4.1-inch 480 x 800 pixel screen.

TG02 specs TG03 specs

Unlike the TG01 the TG02 and TG03 are said to be running Windows Mobile 6.5 right out the box which may halt or even cease deployment of the TG01.

So what makes the handsets different from each other then? Well the TG02 will be splash resistant  and can be used with wet hands without the fear of getting damage. The camera is unchanged from the TG01 at 3.15 MP. The TG03 on the other hand will boast a 5 MP camera and has 5.1 audio channels support which is a big, big plus.

The roadmap also mentions  the Toshiba K01 and K02 handsets. Again both devices will be powered by WM 6.5, a 1 GHZ Snapdragon CPU, HSPA and have camera resolutions of 3.15 MP. The K01 is in QWERTY keyboard form with a 4.1-inch capacitive touch screen display, while the K02 is a clamshell with a 3.5" resistive display.

Dates for release are based on the roadmap seen above but who knows if they will slip or even be brought forward. The main thing here is knowing that Toshiba’s return to the handset market is on witch will feature fast processors, windows mobile and stylish handsets.

Next Google phone confirmed by Motorola

It was just a rumour a week ago but the Motorola device know to us thus far as the Shadow has now been confirmed to be launched as the next Google phone, perhaps the Nexus Two?

The Motorola Shadow

 

According to Mobile Choice:

Motorola’s CEO Sanjay Jha has taken the bull by the horns and come out to confirm that they are working on a Google phone after all. He said that Motorola will be releasing the new design this year.

Further, the similarities continue because the Motorola-derived Nexus phone, "will be sold directly to consumers", just like Google’s Nexus One. Frustratingly, Jha failed to give us any further details about the new design, when the phone will be officially announced or even if the Shadow is, in fact, the designated handset, according to The Street website.

The design of the Shadow is quite similar to the Milestone released last year. The keyboard and slider mechanism looking almost identical, it’s going to be bigger than the Milestone though, having a 4.3″ display.

 

Motorola Milestone (Nexus Two) specification:

  • OperatingSystem: Google Android 2.1
