Latest Mobile Windows News: Qualcomm introduces 1.3 GHz ARM-compatible Snapdragon processor + the birth of smartbooks June 02, 2009; [Ultra-Mobile PCs] Windows Mobile powered Toshiba TG01 will be powered by Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm running at 1 GHz. And now Qualcomm is announcing new version of Snapdragon processor that runs at 1.3 GHz. What is going on? Well, Qualcomm conceived Snapdragon processors, that include also cellular network functionality, mainly as processors for netbooks - tiny notebooks. But what is happening instead? Firstly high-end Windows Mobile phones will use them too... and secondly new category of devices has been just created: smartbooks - they are tiny and look like netbooks but instead of x86 processors (that run also Windows XP/Vista/7) they use ARM-compatible processors (like Snapdragon!) and they will run instead Windows Mobile... While PDA devices based on Windows Mobile are dying out, new wave of Windows Mobile devices will raise soon: smartbooks!  more...

February 26, 2009; [Ultra-Mobile PCs] In past we have installed Windows CE on a regular PC and Windows Mobile is based on Windows CE, so why not to put Windows Mobile in a netbook? Well, because Windows Mobile runs only on ARM-compatible processors and netbooks use x86-compatible processors! What to do in this situation? more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 16 Comments ] Attack of netbooks with built-in mobile broadband - state as of October 2008 October 30, 2008; [Ultra-Mobile PCs] Why would you like to buy an expensive smartphone if you can get for 40-50 % of its price a netbook with built-in 3G (HSDPA, up to 7.2 MB/s)?

(on photo above: Eee PC 901; photo made by Asus Hong Kong) It looks like it is also Asus that starts new second chapter of this revolution with announcement of 3.75G version of Eee PC where "3.75G" standas for HSDPA 7.2 Mbps with HSUPA 2 Mbps: more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later)Vodafone scores exclusive deal with Dell on Inspiron Mini 9 with built-in HSDPA September 09, 2008; [Ultra-Mobile PCs] We don't cover regular netbooks (i.e. cheap subnotebooks) here, but only those that offer embedded cellular connectivity. 
While T-Mobile Germany previously announced that they will be selling Asus Eee PC with built-in HSDPA, now Vodafone corporation (headquarters, not just some local division) is announcing that it has a deal with Dell, thanks to which Vodafone will be selling Dell Inspiron Mini 9 netbook with built-in HSDPA although it is not available through Dell itself with this option! While it is unknown when (if at all) Asus Eee PC with built-in HSDPA is coming, LG has already announced a netbook based on MSI Wind that will have built-in HSDPA so Dell's decision to give exclusivity to Vodafone may be big mistake after all... more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later)Multi-touch gesture upgrade for Tablet PC from Dell coming this week July 15, 2008; [Ultra-Mobile PCs] Instead of waiting for Microsoft that is innovating very very slow (if at all! note to Microsoft employees: releasing a new feature 4 years after competition is not an innovation), Dell, similarly like HTC, is releasing their own operating system extension: multi-touch! Windows 7 (successor to Vista) will have built-in support for multi-touch and we hope that Windows Mobile 7 will have it too (or otherwise it will be big failure), but fans of multi-touch can get it now: more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 1 Comment ]Microsoft Origami Experience 2.0 released for UMPC by Microsoft June 22, 2008; [Ultra-Mobile PCs] If you have an ultra mobile PC (UMPC) powered by Windows Vista and you would like to get more effective finger-based navigation then this upgrade is for you! While Windows Mobile 6.1 still has no adaptation for finger-based navigation, it looks like Microsoft's efforts towards finger-based navigation are going from top to the bottom: starting with Micosoft Surface table with multi-touch, upcoming Windows 7 desktop OS with multi-touch and down to ultra mobile PCs and mobile phones. In other words: Microsoft is going towards finger-based navigation across all their platforms but to Windows Mobile it will arrive at the beginning of the year 2009. more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 1 Comment ]Microsoft OFFICIALLY confirms introduction of multi-touch technology May 28, 2008; [Ultra-Mobile PCs] We were present, on location, at the Microsoft's press conference where UMPC was unveiled for the first time ever and then we asked a question "when will multi-touch be coming to Microsoft powered mobile devices?" and the answer was "in Vista time-frame" but this answer was wrong as we don't have multi-touch by now. However now Microsoft is officially revealing, that multi-touch will be used by Microsoft not only in their tables called "Microsoft Surface" and worth 10,000 dollars... more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 1 Comment ]CES 2008 video report: OQO January 20, 2008; [Ultra-Mobile PCs]  Here is the video: more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 2 Comments ]HTC Shift launched in Asia January 17, 2008; [Ultra-Mobile PCs] It is a pity that HTC Shift doesn't run full version of Windows Mobile apart from Windows Vista - although it has also ARM-compatible processor... but still is one of the best connected and equipped ultra mobile PCs on the market... more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 1 Comment ]HTC Shift launched December 12, 2007; [Ultra-Mobile PCs]  Here are some photos from the launch event: more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 2 Comments ]Dell Latitude XT officially announced by Dell but not available for purchase yet December 11, 2007; [Ultra-Mobile PCs]  While Dell Latitude XT offers revolutionary multi-touch display, the Windows itself is not supporting it yet natively (only 3rd party applications) and this tablet is powered by (rather slow) ULV processors with speeds up to 1.2 MHz...

Now everything is possible: also smartphones from Dell! Dell Latitude XT is not on sale yet but it will be one of the smallest Tablet PC notebooks, and apart from digitizer support it will support also genuine multi-touch display (unlike fake multi-touch that Lenovo offers although in fact it is just "single-touch combined with active digitizer").
