The sharp-eyed folks at Phone Mag spotted an AT&T logo in the menu of the much-anticipated XPERIA X1 device. Which of course leads to one conclusion  that it would be AT&T carrying this uber-cool windows mobile device. Too early to make assumptions? Well only time will tell.

Microsoft Ripoff is a Not-So-Smartphone
Added on 2007-04-24 23:27:00
by Rusty Weiss

While we here at Wirelessinfo do not condone ripping off other companies in any way, we do ask that if you're going to go through the hassle, please don't make it so hilarious.

The Doubao 777, developed by a Chinese company, makes use of some dumbphone technology.

Yes, this puppy is a member of the 'Window' phone family. That's 'Window' ... Singular. Presumably the Chinese knock-off is only capable of opening one 'Window.' Period.

Even more impressive is the schizophrenic switch from upper-case letters to lower-case on the word 'TOUCHSCReeN.'

The Doubao 777 is being sold in Taiwan currently, but we are anxiously awaiting a future release that will support the Linucks and Pom operating systems.

The Pocket PC Feud has Begun
Added on 2007-04-04 23:55:00
by Rusty Weiss

The concept of a computer in your pocket isn’t brand new by any means.  But a Micro PC that makes use of the Microsoft operating system, is in it’s infancy.

 

The latest Micro PC to hit the market is presented by FlipStart Labs.  It is a direct challenger to the OQO Model 02 which started shipping just a week ago.  Both models are built on the Vista or XP operating systems.

Yahoo! Go for Mobile 2.0 Launches March 7th for Windows Mobile Devices
Added on 2007-03-09 17:26:00
by Brenda Keener

The Yahoo! Go service has just been launched for Windows Mobile, and now has been expanded to over 75 Windows Mobile devices and 175 different cellular phone models.

This service is optimized for the small mobile screen, called the “third screen”,and doesn’t try to cram large PC-based content into an eye-test for its users.  It features rich  content such as current and breaking news tickers, customizable widgets accessible via a carousel-like interface, photo sharing via a Flickr widget, and full synchronization with Yahoo Mail as well as Yahoo content such as stock tickers. This is a great feature for those who upgrade or change phones often, or if phones are lost or stolen.  A nice map widget is also handy for road warriors.

 

One of the best features of this service is oneSearch; a search engine optimized just for mobile users that provides relevant search results instead of a list of URLs that may or may not be what the user needs. oneSearch doesn’t just base its search results on what you enter, it also bases your results based on where you are in the world.  This means that searching for a movie title will show you where it is playing near you.

 

Yahoo! Go also uses advanced caching technology and a “push” service to eliminate long download times.
