Windows Phone 7 Series
Though I liked the Zune UI a lot I wonder if masses are willing to learn the complex and maybe not very intuitive Windows Phone 7 Series UI. And, concluding from the videos - a lot seems to be still a mock-up and would need further refinements. But anyhow, it’s always a good choice to cut with that 2002 PocketPC crap.
Nexus One
Apparently the rumors were right and the diggin of Techcrunch forced Google to this statement.
We recently came up with the concept of a mobile lab, which is a device that combines innovative hardware from a partner with software that runs on Android to experiment with new mobile features and capabilities, and we shared this device with Google employees across the globe.
Remains the question why? I think that Google concluded from all the Android diversifications that they need to provide a reference platform by themselves. Maybe having in mind, that users would force other Android manufacturers to follow their reference design, because nobody could keep up with Google’s pace. If you want the latest Android phone — you need the Google Phone.

Nokia E72
Keeping the smudge off your display while you are making five megapixel photos of your lunch snack.
The all new Nokia E72 boasts a host of new features including optical scrolling and a five-megapixel camera. […] and heavy data users will love the support for up to 10.2Mbps connections over HSDPA. The audio jack has also had the upgrade treatment with 3.5mm jack now appearing on the top of the device.
Further improvements are coming from consumer devices, like messaging applications, a digital compass, a torch and so one.
Palm Pre goes on sale nationwide, line forms on the right
Palm Headquarters, we’ve got lines. Can you understand us? We’ve got confirmed line sightings!
After Sprint’s invite only pre-Pre launch event last night, we still saw plenty of folks lined up outside Sprint’s “flagship” New York store in the Flatiron Building before the doors opened. Apparently people started queuing around 5:00AM, with Chris Lee and Randy Williams the first through the door — replacing a Treo Pro and a HTC Mogul, respectively.
