So the device is actually one we’ve heard of already, but the news here is that instead of running Moblin, the LG GW990 will be skipping it to run MeeGo. In case you missed it, MeeGo is the new joint OS created by the merging of Maemo from Nokia and Moblin from Intel. We still have no clue what MeeGo will look like or what parts of each OS they will take to combine into one, but this does signify that LG was at least excited enough about the MeeGo OS to scrap Moblin and announce MeeGo publicly.The GW990 is […]

For everyone using an N900, especially listen up. Nokia and Intel have co-announced that they will be combining Maemo (Nokia) and Moblin (Intel), their two respective open source OS’s, into one OS called MeeGo. These two giants have decided that they can take the best of both OS’s and combine them to make a much better OS over the coming year. What does this mean? We’ll were not sure either as the announcement was pretty vague on details, but what we can probably assume is that this means no more Maemo or Moblin coming out (and no Maemo 6, I

You probably don’t recognize the name Kolbysoft, but you will most likely recognize their product if you use Android. They make the Steel browser that can be downloaded from the Market, one of the first 3rd party browsers for the Android OS. Well, Skyfire, makers of the Skyfire browser, one of the first full flash browsers for the Windows Mobile and Symbian OS’s, has decided to purchase Kolbysoft in order to get their foot in the door for their browser on the Android OS. As someone who has used Windows Mobile phones in the past, Skyfire was my favorite browser.

Following the Nexus One update for pinch zooming, called Android 2.1-Update 1, Google has announced that they will be releasing this same update to all of the manufacturers of Android devices shortly. Now, this doesn’t mean that you can expect the update on your G1 within a week etc. it just means that Google is releasing the update to the manufacturers soon. It will still be up to the manufacturers when and if certain phones get this update (and let’s not forget that some of them have their own UIs on top of Android that would need to be updated

Seems like it, according to Gizmodo. The Gizmodo writer says that his old editor who works at MuyComputer.com (someone he trusts), has divulged that the Zune-like Windows Mobile 7 phone(s) will 100% confirmed be launched at MWC. Another thing he has confirmed is that it will sport the NVIDIA Tegra (monster chipset FYI) and have a 480 x 272 touchscreen, HDMI video out, and weigh just 2.46 ounces (for comparison, an iPhone 3GS weighs 4.76 with a similar net pixel count screen). Curiouser and curiouser.
