Next month at Tech Ed 2009, Windows Mobile 6.5 will officially be released. To be honest, I don’t really know how to react to upgrades of the Windows Mobile platform having been burnt by so many other releases. It also doesn’t help that I have come to love the iPhone OS over the last year or so.

Let’s see how this iteration will turn out. Who knows, Microsoft may have learned from the past and will present us with something worthy of our spending. Bring on Tech Ed 2009!

If you want a gadget that’s geared towards emails but don’t want a Blackberry, check out HTC’s new HTC Snap. This sleek and slim device looks like a mix between a Nokia e71, Palm Centro Pro and a Blackberry.

According to the press release below, the HTC Snap was built on a study that found that many of us are overwhelmed by emails. In an effort to stem some of the stress, HTC created software called Inner Circle which prioritizes email from the most important people in their life with a touch of a button. Sounds ideal but whether it will be practical in real life situations will soon be revealed.

The HTC Snap has satisfactory specs – my biggest likes are its compact size and the 1500mAh battery on such a slim device which translates into a very decent 8.5 hours talktime.  Bit disappointed that they only released a 2 MegaPixel camera in a 2009 device.

Would be interesting to see who will sell this in Australia. I have a feeling that it could be Telstra since they already have most of the HTC range on their shelves.

Presenting Windows Mobile 6.5 (beta)!

Windows Mobile, while not perfect, has come a long way from the days I was using it on my O2 XDA II.

From Microsoft’s Press Release:

BARCELONA, Spain — Feb. 16, 2009 — Today at Mobile World Congress 2009, Microsoft Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer along with key mobile partners, HTC, LG and Orange, unveiled new Windows® phones featuring new user-friendly software and services. The next generation of Windows® phones will be based on Windows Mobile 6.5 and feature a new user interface and a richer browsing experience. In addition, Windows® phones will feature two new services: My Phone, to sync text messages, photos, video, contacts and more to the Web; and Windows® Marketplace for Mobile, a new marketplace that will provide direct-to-phone mobile applications and can be accessed from both the phone and the Web.
Contacts are backed up with My Phone so users don’t have to worry about losing contacts.

“Windows® phones bring together the best of the Web, the PC and the phone so you can connect instantly to the experiences you care about, no matter where you are,” Ballmer said. “We’re working with partners across the industry to deliver a new generation of Windows® phones that break down the barriers between people, information and applications and provide great end-to-end experiences that span your entire life, at work and at home.”

The press release also states that the first mobiles to be running Windows Mobile 6.5 will be:
