AOL Tries To Extort Bogus Fees From Wall Street Journal Writer
11:15AM Dan Nosowitz | AOL tried to squeeze a little over $US100 in fees from a customer for upgrades he hadn’t asked for, hadn’t approved, hadn’t used and of which he hadn’t even been notified. Unluckily for AOL, that customer is a professional writer. More »

AIM Finally Released for Windows Mobile
4:20AM Mark Wilson | It’s been in beta for the last few months, but for Windows Mobile users who’d rather not risk their phone to be a lab rat in a suit, AIM for Windows Mobile is now in final release form. If you are on your mobile now, just go to this link and hit “products” to make the download. If you are on a Windows Mobile device and you don’t want AIM, then we are truly, truly sorry for wasting your time. Feel free to drop by Brian Lam’s place for a personal apology via back rub any time. No, it won’t be strange at all. [AOL via MobileBurn] More »

Blackberry OS 4.5 Not Officially Arriving Until September
4:00AM Gizmodo US Edition | The Blackberry Internet Services 2.5 upgrade (and subsequent downtime) is still go for a June 29 launch, but there’s a catch. According to the Boy Genius Report, some of the “sexiest” 2.5 features won’t be available until Blackberry OS 4.5 arrives–in September. From the looks of the BIS 2.5 presentation they got their boy-sized mitts on, at least one of those features is push AOL email and Hotmail/MSN accounts. Of course, if you have a newer Blackberry handset, or plan on buying one before September, it will come with 4.5 OS already installed. [Boy Genius Report] More »

AOL Blesses Windows Mobile With New AIM Client
1:40AM Matt Buchanan | After years of neglect, AOL has apparently remembered that Windows Mobile exists and just released a new official AIM client. Though still in beta, it’s supposedly compatible with all WinMo 5 and 6 devices. It looks pretty swank, at least as far as WinMo apps go, and more than satisfying for a mobile AIM client. Hopefully this means they’re cooking up one for the iPhone too. [AOL via XDA Developers via BGR] More »
