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.
Nokia has announced that the new version of OVI maps will have free Navigation, which was is currently a paid service. This is a great move by Nokia because the Navigation service is really good and not many were able to use it earlier because it was paid.
Currently there are few devices that will be supported which include the Nokia 5800 Navigation and XpressMusic Editions, Nokia E72, Nokia E55, Nokia E52, Nokia X6, Nokia 6710 Navigator, Nokia 6730 classic, Nokia 5230 and the N97 mini.
Hopefully more devices will be added to this list soon. What are your thoughts about this move by Nokia?

Nokia’s Mobile Web Server service will be discontinued from the end of this month i.e. the 31st of January 2010. The service has been available since two and half years.
Basically this service consisted of a software that could make your Nokia S60 device into a server for you to publish your content, blogs to the internet. Also it could be used to check the contents like calendar etc. from an PC meaning you could share your content with friends and family with the access options in your control.

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!
