The QiJi i6, is not only the world’s most awkawdly named device, it is also a device that supports dual operating systems. I think the idea of dual operating systems is almost a pipe dream. Have you tried parallels? It’s great in theory but in practice it makes your computer slower than my grandmother without her walker. The device is sporting a 624MHz processor, 256MB of ROM, 128MB of RAM, a trackball, and on-screen keyboard. What 2 OS’s would you use?

Remember the Motorola Atila? Motorola’s proposed answer to the iPhone 3G? Well, now that all the buzz has died down (as is the way with so many devices these days), new spy shots have been released as a reminder that this device will actually be coming out… someday.
Check out the Motorola Atila’s specs here!

According to some rumours started by the Inquirer today (ignore their linked ‘video proof’ as it’s clearly a joke), Microsoft is in the final stages of building a phone - the first of its own brand - that will rely on performance to drive sales. They’re allegedly developing a phone that uses one of NVIDIA’s Tegra processors. This processor (likely the APX 2500 chip) would theoretically give the Microsoft device 720p video playback and advanced 3D visuals that no other smartphone on the market has, to date.

Iconsoft Phone Extension is an app for WinMo touchscreen devices and it’s a new type of user interface for managing the main functions of a telephone, built on the basis of the Iconsoft Mobile Engine. The app makes your UI look vaguely like that of the iPhone’s which isn’t a terrible thing. Other features include:
• Convenient and intuitive interface
• Interaction using simple touch (without stylus)
• Photo contacts (including SIM contacts)
• Individual tune for calls (including SIM contacts)
• Expanded call history for each contact
The app is $24.95 and can be downloaded here.

Bringing a true desktop web experience to mobile involves more than just a fancy user interface. You need the rich media experience that Flash mostly provides on the net. Finally, this is happening. Adobe will be demoing Flash Player 10 on Windows Mobile today. This is going to give them an even larger market share than Silverlight by beating them to mobile.
Although a lot of people are giving the iPhone grief for not having Flash, it isn’t Adobe’s fault. They’re ready to get Flash on the iPhone except Apple doesn’t seem keen on the idea of Adobe getting its product on all iPhones. Score one for Windows Mobile!

Canalys recently published a study covering the Q3/2008 smartphone market with results pointing to results opposite of those expected for Windows Mobile. Rumors said that the platform was near extinction, but the numbers from this recent research showed exactly the opposite and who runs a serious risk to leave the market if the rate of decline continues? The Symbian operating system. The data shows a fall of 21.5% from 12.4% marketshare and sales.
Already Windows Mobile has defied the predictions and, in Q3, had a growth of 42.9% in sales and 12.2% in marketshare. With all these predictions, it turns out that Symbian has been the only one to take a numbers loss.
And, of course, I can’t forget to mention Apple, which saw a huge growth due to the launch of the new iPhone 3G, and now occupies the second collation in the ranking.
For Q4/2008 there are predictions for more changes, of course, and we predict an even higher growth for Windows Mobile, thanks mainly to the launch of new smartphones like the Touch Diamond and Touch HD.
And with recent news suggesting that iPhone sales are dropping, we hope to see Windows Mobile’s new smartphones’ sale’s skyrocket!
