Smartphone Round Robin: Triumphant Return to Windows Mobile!
And so The Smartphone Round Robin ends: I’m back on a Windows Mobile device (a Motorola Q9h, if you’re interested) and I’m happy to be here. Ecstatic, even. There are lots of reasons I love Windows Mobile and why it’s a great fit for me. One of those reasons is pictured above. You can choose pretty much any form-factor to fit your lifestyle and have a powerful Smartphone OS in it. This is no small accomplishment - in fact I think it's probably more amazing that Windows Mobile supports such a wide array of phones than the fact that Windows itself will run on a wide array of PCs.

PC Mag Rounds Up Various WM Devices
PC Magazine has come out with their best WM Phone List….is yours on it? Each phone on the list has a link to read a detailed review of it. Windows Mobile has been taking a beating lately, from David Pogue and also in the (I humbly admit, pretty accurate) feedback from the Round Robin over at Phone different and CrackBerry.com In my totally unbiased point of view of being a writer for WMExperts.com, I thought PC Mag's take was important as well:

Windows Mobile Marketshare on the Rise
So, hot on the heels of posting that Handheld sales are down 40% we have another report saying that PDA shipments are **up** 40%. What What WHAT? The second report comes from Gartner and the devil's in the details here, specifically what the definition of "PDA" and "handheld" are. Gartner has an awfully strange definition of PDA indeed: > *a data-centric handheld computer weighing less than 1 pound that is primarily designed for use with both hands. These devices use an open-market OS supported by third-party applications that can be added into the device by end users. They offer instant-on/off capability and synchronization of files with a PC. A PDA may offer WAN support for voice, but these are data-first, voice-second devices. **Examples include the RIM BlackBerry 8707v, HP iPAQ 69xx, Nokia E61, Motorola Q, T-Mobile Dash and Sidekick 3.*** The Dash and the Q are "voice-second" devices? Riiiight. That's opposed to "smartphones," which are "phone first." So, you know, the Treo 750 is not a PDA. Confused yet? Me too, Gartner's "PDA" seems like a pretty useless product category. But the numbers in this silly little product category are pretty impressive:
| Company | 1Q07 Shipments | 1Q07 Market Share (%) | 1Q06 Shipments | 1Q06 Market Share (%) | 1Q06-1Q07 Growth (%) |
| Win CE | 3,184,703 | 62.1 | 1,937,667 | 52.8 | 64.4 |
| RIM | 928,239 | 18.1 | 929,883 | 25.3 | -0.2 |
| Palm OS | 314,353 | 6.1 | 489,220 | 13.3 | -35.7 |
| Symbian | 288,000 | 5.6 | 132,000 | 3.6 | 118.2 |
| Linux | 33,400 | 0.7 | 43,530 | 1.2 | -23.3 |
| Others | 377,150 | 7.4 | 137,000 | 3.7 | 175.3 |
| Total | 5,125,845 | 100.0 | 3,669,300 | 100.0 | 39.7 |

iPhone May *Help* Windows Mobile
Seeking Alpha's Sramana Mitra puts into words something like what I've had in the back of my mind for quite awhile now: it's possible that the iPhone could actually *help* WM. I'm not on board with her "the iPhone is actually laptop competition" argument, though. But consider this:

Engadget Says WM6 Announced ...really?
According to Engadget, Microsoft has announced Windows Mobile 6 (I’d pegged that announcement for the 3GSM conference next week). Perhaps they just announced it to Engadget, though, as I’m having a tough time just this second Microsoft’s finally ready to take the wraps off Windows Mobile 6, the long-awaited successor to Windows Mobile 5 (what else?)

Company find Security Flaws in WM5
Stop the presses: A Microsoft software product has been found to have security flaws. Ok, cheap shot. And really, WM5 hasn't, to my knowledge, had any sort of catastrophic attack on it yet. Even this is just a report of a threat, not an actual attack (a report of a threat, one should note, from a company that wants to sell you software to protect you). Still, MS is on the case and, really, it should just be a matter of time before we really have to starting thinking about malware on our smartphones.

Hack Available for PPC-6700/XV6700: AKU3.3
If your 6700 is getting a little long in the tooth (Face it, you know that it is), then here's good news for you. AKU3 is now available via a hack (completely unsupported and highly frowned-upon by Sprint and Verizon). So worth it, though, given the sheer number of bugfixes, tweaks, *speed* you'll garner from the upgrade.

Windows CE Explained
Now, somewhere in the back of my mind I’d always thought “Windows CE is gone, fool, it’s been replaced by Windows Mobile” whenever I saw a reference to CE.... A very common question that perhaps needs some explanation is the difference between Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Embedded CE 6.0 - so here’s the explanation.Windows Embedded CE is a hard real-time, componentized operating system that can be used by developers to build a wide range of embedded devices - you can think of the operating system as a box of Lego blocks, with CE 6.0 there are approximately 700 components (or Lego blocks) that make up the operating system, a developer gets to pick and choose which components or technologies they put into their embedded operating system design Read: Mikehall’s Embedded WEblog : Windows Mobile and Windows Embedded CE - what’s the difference ?

Now this is a fun website
Microsoft has a new(ish) site extolling the virtues of Windows Mobile, the theme is Work Wherever. Now yesterday I wasn’t so keen on admitting that I can work whenever and wherever, but this stuff is funny enough to make it worth it.

Crossbow Review
Mobile-review has a great, er, review of the upcoming version of Windows Mobile, currently codenamed Crossbow.... *Nevertheless, the brand-new operating system could be called “Windows Mobile 5.0 Second Edition” for it lacks tons of all-new features and total system revamp as in the case of Windows Mobile 5.0.

Voice Command 1.6
Here’s a awkward question for fans of the full-features PocketPC Edition of Windows Mobile 5: “How long until the differences between the two versions of the OS are negligible?” We know that we can expect a more full-featured version of Pocket Office on the Smartphone Edition soon (Hello editing!). Now, according to Tech[dot]Blog, we can expect Voice Command as well.
