- Windows Mobile 7 Now A Q4 Release
Posted By Ed Hansberry
It looks like Windows Mobile 7 has been pushed back to the fourth quarter of 2010. Actually, Microsoft has not published any release date for the mobile platform so what is really being pushed back are the expectations that the previous round of rumors had. This pushes the release closer to the holiday season though. Any release after that wouldn't bode well at all.

- Major Palm Announcement At CES?
Posted By Ed Hansberry
Palm has started sending out invitations to the media for an event they are hosing at the 2010 CES show in Las Vegas. In 2009 they launched WebOS to much fanfare and launched the Pre nearly six months later. What could they be announcing at the 2010 show?

- More People Use The iPhone Than WinMo Devices
Posted By Eric Zeman
According to new numbers from comScore, the actual number of iPhone users has surpassed the number of all Windows Mobile users in the U.S. by a wide margin. RIM, however, still outnumbers both by a factor of two.

- Palm webOS Device Headed To Verizon Soon
Posted By Eric Zeman
According to a sneaky Verizon Wireless employee, the company is preparing to train its staff on Palm and webOS. Why is this significant? It means that Verizon Wireless will likely be offering a webOS-based Palm device in the very near future.

- Google Corrects Android Market Numbers Down To 16,000
Posted By Eric Zeman
Yesterday, AndroLib noted that the Android Market had recently surpassed 20,000 applications. Not so, says Google. What's behind the 4,000 missing Android apps?

- Microsoft Offers Bing iPhone App
Posted By Eric Zeman
Microsoft is pushing its Bing search engine pretty hard into the mobile space. It already has distribution deals with the likes of Verizon Wireless, but now it is stepping into an interesting new realm. Microsoft has made a free Bing application for the iPhone.

- Verizon Wi-Fi Program Bypasses Smartphone Users
Posted By Ed Hansberry
Verizon has a new WiFi hotspot program where any of its "Mobile Broadband" customers get free access to hotspots across the country. The advantage is for the same price you were paying yesterday, you can now transfer more data without worrying about the typical 5GB per month limit since none of the hotspot transfers count against your monthly limit. The bad news is, being a Verizon smartphone owner doesn't get you any of these benefits.

- Android Round-Up: 20k Apps, Facebook Update, OS2.1 Ported
Posted By Eric Zeman
