Good times for the WinMo fans seem to be just around the corner. After last week the release of Windows Mobile 6.5 was officially confirmed for the second half of this year it now appears that its successor isn't too far away either. In an analysts meeting held yesterday Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer confirmed that Windows Mobile 7 will be available next year. The other good news that the meeting brought to the masses is the fact that the mobile version of Windows 7 will sport a much tighter integration with its desktop brother - whatever they mean by that.

Steve Ballmer also confirmed that Microsoft will make all they can to make up for the main disadvantage of their OS - namely the lack of user-friendliness. Finger optimization is one of the key thought in the developers' minds when designing the WinMo 7 and we should expect a whole load of new nice applications too. In case you've missed it, here's a quick scoop of all WinMo 7 goodies leaked on a concept paper a year ago.

3 INQ1 is the best handset for 2009, GSMA awards announced...!!!

Sorry Girls n Guys, not in touch for a couple of days bcoz of bad health conditions, thats why dont let you people know about some of the latest and interesting news...!!!

First of all, coming towards the winner of the 14th Global Mobile Award Winner...!!!

Yeh, of course its the 3UK's INQ1...!!!

3 UK's INQ1 is top of the list of winners of the 14th Global Mobile Awards basking in their glory. Last night at the National Palace in Barcelona the vote of a wide panel of judges from within the world of mobile technology, decided the winners in 7 categories.

The one we're most interested in - the Best Mobile Handset or Device - produced a quite surprising winner. The Amoi-made INQ1 for 3 UK emerged triumphant over LG KS360, T-Mobile G1, BlackBerry Storm 9500 and Nokia E71.

Winning stuff was social networking - the INQ1 is tightly integrated with Facebook and last.fm, and comes with support for popular messengers like Skype and Windows Live Messenger.T-Mobile and Nokia are the two runners-up so to say, splitting the Highly Commended award in this category. The G1 was praised by the judges and T-Mobile should share credit with HTC, who actually manufactured it. The Android Platform got its share of appreciation and, with several new handsets coming in 2009, the way ahead is wide open.

Nokia got a firm handshake too on behalf of their E71 - the business minded QWERTY all-in-one. You can read our review here. Nokia also snatched the Best Mobile Internet Service award with the Nokia Sports Tracker. The application uses GPS to keep track of your workouts - jogging, running or cycling. Putting due emphasis on networking again, that workout data can be shared on the relevant website including route, speed and even pictures taken along the way.

The Best Mobile Technology Breakthrough award went to the SurePress screen of the BlackBerry Storm. The SurePress screen actually 'clicks' like a hardware button allowing the user to both hover over an item and get physical feedback from virtual buttons, a feature that has been a major challenge for touchscreens.

There were many rumors of trouble for the Storm but if anything, this award is confirms that touchscreen is the way the future's shaping and tactile feedback will play an important role in user experience.

Next year's awards promise to be even more interesting with the Mobile Innovation Grand Prix. It will focus on smaller players with pioneering products and services seeking bigger market deployment.

Samsung Blue Earth Phone - Solar powered, touch driven

The Samsung Blue Earth is a solar powered, eco-friendly phone and it quite looks the part. Samsung say it was designed to resemble a rounded pebble and with the solar rear panel users can always count on enough charge to make a call. There's a regular DC charger for a rainy day too, which Samsung claim is highly energy efficient. With an ultra low standby power charger and a recycled paper retail box, the Samsung Blue Earth has no other choice but follow suit. The handset is made of plastic from recycled water bottles and Samsung claim it's free of harmful materials.

Although we have seen other phones made from recycled materials, the first solar-powered touchscreen is really trying to provoke the user to be "green". A special "eco mode" puts a leash on power hogs like the screen and Bluetooth and sets them running in an energy efficient manner. The step-counting function found on many devices with accelerometers has a new spin to it. It calculates how much CO2 would have been released if you were to make the journey by car and the units for this calculation are the number of trees saved.

LG KM900 Arena comes with multi-touch and graphics chip

We have some good news for the future owners of the LG KM900 Arena. According to the company web site, the newly announced full touchscreen handset will support multi-touch input and will come with a dedicated graphics chip. Both features should have a very positive impact on the user experience the LG KM900 Arena provides. In essence the multi-touch input means more user-friendly UI due to the easier input – you can have additional commands available on each screen. Have in mind though that the multi-touch will only be available for web browsing and picture viewing. The dedicated graphics chip should provide faster and more responsive UI. With a demanding WVGA resolution screen on board it’s hardly a surprise that such a useful piece of hardware is present on the LG KM900 Arena. The other LG KM900 Arena specs revealed today are its massive 8GB internal memory and the presence of a card slot on the device.

LG also revealed another interesting detail about the KM900 Arena - the process of developing the phone took the company no less than 100 man years! The number certainly sounds impressive, but will the final result be able to justify them? In an increasingly competitive touchscreen market the S class UI (where S should stand for Superior) of the LG KM900 Arena will need something more than multi-touch to become a success. Who knows - it might actually have that extra bit in it. As usually the verdict will be passed once we acquire a unit for an in-depth review.

In case you have by any chance missed it or you need a quick memory refresh here are the rest of the LG KM900 Arena noteworthy features. Those include a 5-megapixel, capable of doing high-res video, HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity as well as a built-in GPS receiver. The handset will aslo offer the Dolby Mobile feature which promises "outstanding surround sound stereo". LG KM900 Arena is expected to start its European expansion in March 2009 but the price tag is still unknown.

New Light-saber Application Free Download

Free BlackBerry Storm Lightsaber Application emerges based on tons of requests. A while ago, a lightsaber application came out for the iPhone. Not really, but close enough. It uses the accelerometer to make the different sound effects. Now for BlackBerry users, you can grab the lightsaber application and be-sure to read up more on it over at CrackBerry.

How it works:

“Open the app, click the screen to turn the lightsaber on. You can swipe the screen left and right for different colors. When you have a color of your choice just swing the phone left and right. Based on how hard you swing it different sounds will play. Click the screen again to turn it off.”  Basically with the storm you press the screen to turn the light saber on or off and when you move your phone it makes really loud saber noises"

Sony Ericsson Hikaru shows its face to the World

The first photo of the long rumored and discussed Sony Ericsson Hikaru leaked today. It is a small and sleek Walkman-branded metal slider with an 8 megapixels camera and rich connectivity options. Sony Ericsson Hikaru makes its first public appearance today after rumors about it have been circling around for months.

Touchscreen marathon continues with Samsung S8300

Today Samsung has officially announced their latest high-end phone, the Samsung S8300 Ultra-TOUCH. The fully touch-operated slider has decided to avoid the crowd at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and appear a weak earlier. With the LG KM900 Arena also appearing today we are not quite sure how much of a good decision that is. The key features naturally include the 2.8" OLED scratch-resistant touchscreen display with WQVGA resolution (240 x 400 pixels). Unlike most other touchscreen devices, the Samsung S8300 Ultra-TOUCH like Samsung Tocco Ultra uses the capacitive technology, as with the Apple iPhone 3G and LG KF900 Prada. Dressed to impress with a slim 12.7 mm body and a finely brushed metal frame, the S8300 Ultra-TOUCH also has the features to do so. The handset comes with an 8 megapixels autofocus camera with dual-LED flash that can capture videos up to VGA resolution at 30fps. Next are the built-in GPS with A-GPS support, Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP, microUSB and the microSD memory card slot. Fm radio with RDS is also on board, making Wi-Fi the only major absence here.

However the Samsung S8300 UltraTOUCH partially compensates for that with quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE as well as 3G with HSDPA (7.2Mbps) support. The handset also comes with the sweet DivX and XviD support, meaning that you don't have to convert your favorite videos to mp4 for watching them on it. Samsung S8300 UltraTOUCH will run on the latest reincarnation of the company's propriety. TouchWiz user interface. It brings quite a number of improvements over the previous edition including new widgets, three homescreens and an improved image gallery.

The 8 megapixels Samsung i8910 records HD video, ready to roll

Samsung i8910 is the new addition to the long line of Samsung phones that leaked these last two weeks. This time we're talking something big though - both in size and in features as well. The i8910 will be the first phone to record HD video. It's also packs a huge touchscreen and runs on the Symbian S60 OS 5th edition (like Nokia N97).

Samsung i8910 seems to be one of the juiciest phones to be announced at this MWC. Its most conspicuous feature is the huge touchscreen, which looks similar to the 3.8-inches on HTC Touch HD. As far as rumors go Samsung i8910 sports an 8-megapixels camera with HD video recording (1280 x 720 pixels), GPS and Wi-Fi connectivity, HDMI output and a 3.5mm audio jack plus DivX and DNLA certification. Considering the front barely noticeable camera, we might be sure of the 3G support. The Samsung i8910 will come in 8GB and 16GB versions much like the Samsung Omnia it comes to upgrade.

Currently there's no info about the OS, but some sources quote it as the latest Symbian S60 5th edition used in Nokia 5800 Xpress Music and Nokia N97. We can't just wait to get our hands on one of these beauties.
