WiMax for Windows Mobile 7?
Dec 27th
On January 6th there will be a conference that Sprint, Microsoft and LG leaders will host. The event is a secret right now, but rumors are speculating that the conference will involve some sort of major announcement involving WiMax technology being used in Microsoft’s upcoming Windows Mobile 7 operating system. LG (Life’s Good) will be manufacturing the WiMax Smartphones, it likely seems. Sprint will probably manufacturer their own WiMax Smartphones as well. Microsoft will be there to simply confirm that the news is true about WM7.
WiMax is a giant WiFi connection, essentially. It allows any internet-capable device to connect to the World Wide Web via an 802.16e connect. Watch the stock prices for these three corporations (MSFT, S, and LG) soar on the day of announcement, January 6, 2010. God bless capitalism.
HTC a ‘major player’ for Windows Mobile 7
Dec 12th
Have you heard of HTC? God, why do I waste my time … of course you have! They own over 80% of the Smartphone marketshare. Until 2009, HTC produced mobile devices for Microsoft Windows Mobile 6. The mobile phone manufacturer recently “scaled back” their production for Windows Mobile phones and shifted this energy on Android devices.
Don’t freak out. Windows Mobile 7 will still be running on HTC phones. What we are seeing now is a balance of power/marketshare between one of the two largest technological powerhouse corporations in the WORLD: Google and Microsoft.
Since more than 80% of all Smartphone users have an HTC phone, the company decided to disversify by opening their doors to new mobile operating systems and creating devices for Google Android. And because HTC doesn’t know which operating system is more successful, they are going to use both of them.
