For longer time to fill the big upgrade, Windows Mobile 7, Microsoft has also prepared a version. It is 6.5.3, version that has already been announced for some terminals. An example would be Sony Ericsson Aspen.

Among the novelties introduced by Windows Mobile 6.5.3 include:

* Support multitouch
* Complete interface optimized for touch control
* Zoom function
* Icons of stanby screen can be arranged by drag & drop
* The browser consumes less memory and loads pages faster
* The browser supports multitouch gestures he

Basically, the main novelty is to optimize 100% graphical interface, so no stylus is needed. It was expected to Windows Mobile 7 but we can not cry because it came early.

Already for a long time to speculate that Microsoft is about to launch their latest version of mobile operating system, Windows 7, but it does not make another appearance on the market and so far no concrete information about it have appeared.

But now, it seems that LG has a phone preparation with Windows Mobile 7 and are ready to launch it during September of this year, initially in the U.S. and thereafter an indefinite date in Europe.

Microsoft is playing with the patience of users waiting to see how great will be Windows Mobile 7, but also runs its market share from under his feet. To us as if in rage, up to version number 7, who should be the big upgrade for this operating system, Microsoft will release Windows Mobile 6.6.

According to rumors, Windows Mobile 6.6 would be officially launched in February at Mobile World Congress, the largest telephony and networking fair. This version is a minor update which will only pave the way for Windows Mobile 7. Main novelty brought by Windows Mobile 6.6 is native support for touchscreen capacitive sites.

Even when I began to worry about the future of Windows Mobile, we learn that, before long, Microsoft will conduct a demonstration in which we can see the working version number seven of the operating system.

In February the annual fair will be held Mobile World Congress, where it collected, usually all the great names of mobile phones and networking industry. Mobile World Congress 2010 will be the place where people from Microsoft will give us more information about Windows Mobile 7.

Without having information about the Windows Mobile 7, the new version, that should update all the views of the operating system from Microsoft, will be officially launched somewhere towards the end of this year.

I know, the news was trying for some time. But always we need official confirmation, and now it is: Xbox Live is moving to a new environment – the mobile phone.

The service will be known as “Xbox Live Games” and will be available only on phones that operate a mobile version of Windows. Information that appears in one of Microsoft’s internal marketing materials and sounds very discouraging. Not mentioned words like “exclusive” or “only”, but the list included only with Windows mobile. And if the service will be sent only to this segment, in fact very small market, the story will be a waste of time.

Back with details as soon as we have.

Samsung D980 Dual SIM phone is among the first released, its quality, compared to other phones in cateogoria and was unmistakable.

Samsung D980 is a dual sim mobile phone, in addition, has a touch display – touchscreen, with 2.6 inch screen with resolution 240 x 320 pixels. The camera is 5MP, 45 MB internal memory and the possible extension up to 2 GB microSD card. The phone has MP3 and video players, and FM radio. Though not truly smartphone has a built-in document viewer. You can therefore read-only to open Microsoft Office files.

Back when Vista Company was announced, everyone was upset that they’d have to make significant hardware upgrades in order to accommodate the new operating system from Microsoft.
More Windows users had to buy new computers because it was less expensive than making the upgrades necessary to their then-current notebooks and desktops. However, there was a slight problem unresolved. The original date for the “Vista Capable” campaign was slated for June 1, 2006. For many reason, Microsoft decided to launch it 3 months earlier on April 1.

Some of the folks over at Intel were upset because the premature release would not give them enough time to make the chipsets necessary to run properly on Windows Vista. Now it looks as though the two company’s CEOs allegedly had a little agreement of their own – one that would misleadingly label machines with the inadequate Intel chips as “Vista Capable“. Though Microsoft and Intel employees were aware of the situation and were unhappy with it, the issue seemed to be controlled further up the corporate ladder.
