Yesterday at the Mobile World Congress 2010, Microsoft revealed their revolutionary OS for Mobiles. The new version has awesome features, like a built in Zune music player, good looking User Interface, superb connectivity with social networking sites etc. and a whole lot of cool features

So what do you think of this new version of Windows mobile? Do you think it will kill the iPhone? (I know its very late, but still)
If you own an iPhone or an iPod touch you can now update its firmware to version 3.1.3. Just plug in your device to iTunes to update its firmware.
The new version changelog:
1. Improved accuracy of reported battery level on iPhone 3GS
2. Resolves issues where third-party apps would not launch in some instances
3. Fixes bug that may cause an app to crash when using Japanese Kana Keyboard
[UPDATE] While updating my iPod touch I encountered problem error 1602, and my iPod was stuck in restore mode and my laptop could not recognize it. I had to restore it using another computer. check out this page before you update your device: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
Also I suggest you only update the firmware once you have the latest iTunes version and also while updating do turn off any firewalls.
Mr. Steve Jobs CEO of Apple unveiled yesterday the 'iPad' which is the rumored device called "iSlate, iTablet" earlier.According to me this a BIG iPhone/iPod Touch. Yes it has support for all the apps in the app store for the iPhone/iPod touch, the sleep/wake button on the top like on the iPhone/iPod touch, also has the "home" button.
This device is something between a phone and a laptop. The eBook app called iBooks allows you to buy ebooks and read them on a very advanced and high resolution LED display which should be an amazing experience. Photos, Videos, Notes, internet browsing, Maps, YouTube etc. should be really amazing. Also with the support for iPhone apps, the games on this larger screen should be really good. check here for more features.
There are some drawbacks of this though. Here are some:
1. NO Multitasking.... Again I don't know how could they do this! check earlier post on this here
2. No support for SD cards etc. so no expandable memory
3. No Camera
I don't understand why would someone who already owns a laptop + iPod touch or a desktop + iPhone etc. want such a device? Like you can buy it if you have $$$ and want an awesome eBook reading experience and want to check newspapers etc but then I still the laptops can do that, as well as do MANY other stuff. So I don't understand why someone would want an iPhone which is BIG in size.
It's good to get this device, if you have a desktop and then want mobility at your homes etc.

So do let me know about your thoughts of the iPad in the comments please!
There is NO multitasking on the iPhone or the iPod touch which is really sad. I don’t know why the makers didn’t feel the need for it…
Yesterday I asked people on twitter the same thing and I got replies like “it would affect the battery life a lot” well that's not the solution right? also the syncing options with iTunes are very very confusing, adding photos on the iPod touch a BIG pain :/ I have to select an entire folder and cannot drag and drop, .wma audio files not supported. Some video files are not supported. But after ‘jailbreaking’ your iPod/iPhone you get access to whole lot of stuff which makes it really exciting.
My final thoughts on this? both the gadgets are very good, especially the iPod which is an almost perfect portable entertainment device. The iPhone would be perfect if it had multitasking and a 5megapixel camera (the camera part is not necessary though) Also better support for Windows users. A perfect combination would be having a iMac/Macbook and an iPhone.
Google’s Nexus One, the Android ‘Superphone’ is said to be an iPhone killer, well only time will tell!
What are your thoughts on the iPhone? do leave comments!
