Samsung Jack Completes BlackJack Windows Mobile Trilogy for $US99
1:00AM Matt Buchanan | If you thought the Epix was the BlackJack III, nope. Meet the Jack. It’s a pretty standard Windows Mobile 6.1, 3G and Wi-Fi deal, and it compels copywriters to make lame playing card puns: More »

10:10AM Nick Broughall | Isn’t it slightly ironic that the day after Microsoft unleashes Windows Mobile 6.5, the biggest UI refresh for God knows how long, Telstra and MS announce that they’re creating a Telstra-themed skin for Windows Mobile 6.1 phones? Even more curious is that we won’t actually see the skin on phones until April with the Motorola A3100 and May for the Xperia X1, which is just a couple of months before we can realistically expect to see WM6.5 hit handsets.

Acer’s First Smartphones Are Missing Something
5:16AM Mark Wilson | Acer has unveiled their rumoured smartphones, the X960, F900, M900, and DX900. And they don’t look half bad, other than lacking WinMo 6.5 and being a tad on the chunky side. Here’s a rundown:

Microsoft: Fewer Phones Will Have WinMo in the Future
6:30PM Elaine Chow | With increasing competition–most recently from Android and Palm’s promising new WebOS, how is Microsoft planning on helping WinMo survive in the mobile operating system world? By putting it on less devices, naturally. More »

IE Mobile 6 Will Not Be Available For Existing WinMo Smartphones
5:50AM Sean Fallon | The Windows Mobile team has confirmed that the upcoming IE Mobile 6 browser or “IE 6 on 6″ will not be made available as a separate download for current WinMo 6.1 smartphones. Instead, the update will only show up on devices released starting at the end of this year or in early 2009. The reason, according to Microsoft, is that “the rich media experiences that IE Mobile 6 enables require more powerful, advanced devices.” IE doesn’t have a whole lot of fans, but if you already have a WinMo smartphone it would suck to miss out on what appears to be a huuuge improvement.

HP Shows Off Two New iPaq Phones: One Touch, One Not
9:26PM John Herrman | HP’s rumoured touchscreen handset has showed up in the for of the iPaq Data Communicator, a pop-out QWERTY Windows Mobile handset, with a solid but predictable spec sheet. You’ll find a full range of 3G capabilities, Wi-Fi, a-GPS, a 3.1MP camera with autofocus and flash all behind a 2.8in, 320 x 240 screen, controlled with a 5-way “optical navigation” key. It measures in at the same respectable 1.7cm thickness as the T-Mobile G1 — a little thinner than its clear competitor, the HTC Touch Pro. For the old-fashioned types, you can find most of the same guts in the Voice Communicator, a sleek, half-QWERTY candybar phone More »

Windows Mobile Running on an iPhone
12:32AM Sean Fallon | Call it what you will: immoral, unethical, unholy—it appears that a Norwegian developer by the name of Erik Kristiansen has actually managed to pull off Windows Mobile running on an iPhone. The video of the OS is booting on a 3G is convincing enough, but the extremely bizarre exchange between this “reporter” and Kristiansen at the myPhone2008 conference is enough to bring its validity into question. We shall find out soon enough—Kristainsen claims that the hack is currently in beta with a January release in the works. [myPhone2008] More »
