- Dates Firm Up For Windows Mobile 7 In 2010
Posted By Ed Hansberry
Rumors from China are firming up some key events for Windows Mobile 7. It
seems that WinMo 7 is mostly complete and it should be released to manufacturers
in Q1 2010. We can then expect handsets to show up in stores in the third quarter.

- Carrier Billing Headed To BlackBerry Apps World
Posted By Eric Zeman
When it comes to selling applications to mobile device owners, the
easier the better. That's why support for carrier billing is so important.
According to Research In Motion co-CEO Jim Balsillie, BlackBerry Apps World
will add carrier billing support in 2010.

- Shop For WinMo Apps At New Web Site
Posted By Eric Zeman
If browsing for new applications from your phone doesn't qualify as fun
in your book, take heart. Microsoft recently made Windows Marketplace for
Mobile available from any desktop browser.

- Check Out The Xobni App For BlackBerry
Posted By Marin Perez
At the BlackBerry Developer Conference, I got a chance to sit down and
talk with Xobni CEO Jeff Bonforte about the upcoming application for the
BlackBerry platform. While it's still a few months away, the Xobni mobile
app looks like an excellent way to easily manage thousands of contacts.
Keep reading for some more details and a video demonstration.

- Apple's Profits Crush Nokia's (And Everyone Else's)
Posted By Eric Zeman
Based on the performance of both Apple and Nokia in the most recent
financial quarter, Apple is now the most profitable maker of cell
phones. It earned $1.6 billion in profits compared to Nokia's $1.1
billion. Nokia, by the way, sells hundreds of millions more phones
than Apple does.

- Samsung Bailing On Windows Mobile
Posted By Ed Hansberry
In the coming years, it looks like Samsung will be significantly
reducing Windows Mobile in its lineup of smartphones. As one of
the largest smartphone makers in the world, taking Windows Mobile
from over 80% of your lineup to less than 20% in just a few years
is a big shift.

- Droid Round-Up: Opening Sales And Firmware Update
Posted By Eric Zeman
Though neither Motorola nor Verizon Wireless has provided any official
numbers, it appears as though about 100,000 Droids may have sold the
first weekend the new Android phone was available. Also, based on internal
documents, Verizon is already planning a major system update for both the
Droid and HTC Eris Android phones.

- Bada-Bing: Samsung Intros New Mobile OS
Posted By Eric Zeman
Samsung has taken it upon itself to step up and deliver what no one
asked for: another mobile operating system. Today, Samsung announced
"Bada," a new, open platform that Samsung hopes will be the
feature-phone OS of the future.
