There isn’t much that can be said for this video except epic awesome. Yeah I know this is a tech blog, but this version is too damn awesome to pass up. Check it out below.

Before you get all excited and jizz in your pants, let us warn you that these are just rumors, i.e things we cannot prove to be fact. That said, take the following information with a heavy dose of salt.
PPCGeeks are reporting that thy’ve just gotten a bunch of new information about Windows Mobile 7 which will be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Spain later this month (15-18). According to PPCGeeks, Windows 7 will indeed have an updated interface, however specific details on hardware will not most likely not be detailed then (later on in the year maybe?).
They further state that the user interface will be based on codename “METRO.” The interface is based of the Zune HD(something we’ve been hearing for months, we might add) and the Start screen has been completely revamped. Such words as “soulful,” “very clean,” and “alive” are used to describe the new UI.
The rumors go on to state that Flash support will not be included in the onset as there was not enough time to impliment the features, however support should come later on. Moreover, applications on Windows Mobile 7 will have to be installed through the “Marketplace” and applications stored on storage cards will not be usable. Older applications will not be supported on the onset as well, however there is said to be some type of emulator in the works that would be released later on to support older Windows Mobile applications. Probably the best news about the Marketplace is that it will support “try before you buy” as well as an API for developers.
Multi-task support is said to be missing, however applications will be able to pause while in the background and the OS will support push notifications. The source claims Microsoft is confident it will have devices ready with the new operating system by September of this year. Full Zune integration is included and Windows Mobile Device Center will be dropped for syncing with PC’s via the Zune software.
Last but not least, we’re hearing Microsoft is bringing an end to skinning the UI. That means the HTC, Samsung etc. can kiss their skins goodbye for the new OS. And of course, full Xbox integration (such as game tags XBL etc. will be included), and keeping true to the times, full support of social networking will be included as well.
As we said before, these are just rumors, but with Palm, Google, Apple and Symbian making big strides in the mobile OS department, anything lesss then this wouldn’t seem justifiable for all the hype that has been created concerning Widows Mobile 7. We’ll just have to see if it’s true in another 8 days.

Granted it’s a proof of concept, however that doesn’t mean that the interface is like totally awesome (and useless we might add). The Gesture Cube incorporates gesture sensors that will interpret hands movements in order to control the device. More importantly, it has four different sides (as you can see from the video) and has some awesome effects.
Check out the video below for an idea of how this thing works.
We’ve got our hands on the Pre and Pixi and we’re glad to say we’ll be having a review out next week. Remember, these are Verizon phones (not Sprint). That said, stay tuned.
It’s not very often that major newspapers such as Fox and WSJ leak out tech info which is incorrect. So we’re gonna take their word for most of these rumors which you shall see below.

It’s official people, Apple is holding an event come January 27th (9 more days) and is promising to reveal it’s “latest creation.” We’ve been hearing rumors for years that the boys in Cupertino were working on some type of tablet, slate device and we wouldn’t be none too surprised if they Steve Jobs actually pulled one out of his @ss at the event.
That said, it could be just another update to the iPhone line (we’re hearing generation 4 is due sometime this year), or it could be updated MacBook Pro’s with i5 or i7 processors. But we highly doubt it that they would classify updates to existing products as “their latest creation.”
So let the rumors begin. In the mean time we will return to our normal programming (covering Palm and mobile related news).

Update: We’re getting some more news VIA FoxNews that not only will there be a Tablet announced on January 27th, but iPhone OS 4.0 and a new version of the iLife suite. Usually when the news papers pick up a texh rumor it is because they have some inside info so we’re betting our hats that all what is promised at the read link below is going to be true.

The graphic is pretty self explanatory so we’ll be brief in our explanation. But we would just like to point out two things. First of all BillShrink fails to mention Sprint’s “Everything Mobile” plan which is an industry first and a lot better then any of the offerings from T-Mobile. Secondly, they fail to mention that T-Mobile still has the least 3G coverage. Other then that, the graphic is pretty accurate. Check it out.
