- Palm: 'Slower Than Expected Consumer Adoption' Of WebOS
Posted By Eric Zeman
If things looked bad earlier this week for Palm, they look worse now. Palm updated its guidance for the current quarter and the numbers have been revised downward. The new numbers will be "well below its previously forecasted range of $1.6 billion to $1.8 billion." http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=8&m=34659008&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=Njc5Njk0NzgS1&mt=1&rt=0

- PocketGear Acquires Handango
Posted By Ed Hansberry
If you have had any kind of smartphone in the past decade, you are probably aware of and have even used PocketGear or Handango to purchase your apps. Now these two software retailers are combining their catalogs to go head to head against platform owned stores like Apple's App Store and Microsoft's Marketplace for Windows Mobile. Will it help them survive though?

- Skype Yanks Windows Mobile App From Site
Posted By Eric Zeman
For some unknown reason, Skype is no longer making Skype and Skype Lite available to the Windows Mobile platform. Skype's support page says, "We felt that Skype Lite and Skype for Windows Mobile were not offering the best possible Skype experience." What gives? http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=40&m=34659008&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=Njc5Njk0NzgS1&mt=1&rt=0

- Apple Publishes Then Kills Latest iPad SDK
Posted By Eric Zeman
On Feb. 23 Apple released a third beta version of the iPhone OS 3.2 software development kit for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. It wasn't available long, however. Apple pulled the updated beta SDK mere hours after it went live. Thankfully, a few developers were able to download it before the link went dead. They found a few interesting details buried inside.

- Details On Windows Phone 7 Hardware
Posted By Ed Hansberry
One of the benefits for manufacturers for Windows Mobile phones until now has been the incredibly wide variety of hardware they could build for the mobile platform. Windows Phone 7 Series is going to change all of that. Microsoft is strictly controlling the hardware specs that are allowed for the device. We've got some rumors on what is and isn't allowed.

- Motorola May No Longer Call Chicago Home
Posted By Eric Zeman
As part of its reorganizational efforts, Motorola indicated that it might pick up and move its handset and home businesses to California. Why? Because apparently Motorola thinks the talent pool in Chicago is tapped out.

- Number Of iPhone Users Surpasses WinMo Users
Posted By Eric Zeman
After two and a half years in the market, Apple's iPhone has overtaken Microsoft's Windows Mobile platform in overall smartphone share around the globe. Apple moved past Microsoft to become the third-largest deployed smartphone platform worldwide. RIM holds onto the number two spot worldwide, but Nokia is still number one.
