MobileBurn reporting Moto Q on May 31st

Well it almost looks like Verizon is commiting to releasing the Moto Q on May 31st.  Guess I’ll believe it when I see it.  Sounds like a great phone, and the sooner it gets into the public, the better for all smarphone users in the end.

Next we need to get the new ‘HTC Star Trek’ clamshell phone out onto the carriers networks.

Early preview of Treo 700p

There is a nice preview of the Treo 700p posted over at Brighthand.  AdamaDBrown describes the initial observations on the device including EVDO connectivity on the Sprint network.  Also touched on is the higher resolution display, and the ability to use the device as a wireless modem.  It looks like a solid device that builds on the previous successes of the Treo 650s and the Windows Mobile based 700w.

Moto Q – Finally?

Is next week the week?  Will it really happen?  Is it really a BlackBerry ‘killer’?  Can I stop asking silly questions?*  According to Engadget Mobile, Motorola has announced that the Q will be released next week.

I’m really excited to finally see a slim & trim Windows Mobile Smartphone-based  phone with a QWERTY keyboard and landscape QVGA screen.  Yes, this is the CDMA/EVDO version, so it’ll be available on Verizon (and later Sprint) right away, but we’ll have to wait until the end of the year for the GSM/UMTS version – or so they say.  Go check out Engadget’s post on the latest Q news.

Ilium Software will support the UMPC

Yesterday, Ilium Software announced on their blog that they will be producing UMPC versions of all their software in future releases.  This marks the first Teir 1 vendor of Windows Mobile software to support the new platform.

“The UMPC is a natural evolution for users seeking a comprehensive mobile experience,” stated Marc Tassin, Senior Product Manager for Ilium Software. “We’re very excited about the prospects for this new platform.”

I’ve used several of Ilium Software’s products.  My favorites are currently eWallet and ListPro, but their new RSS reader (NewsBreak) has gotten a number of great reviews, and I guess I’ll evenually give it a try – I’ve not had a real need for a mobile RSS reader yet.
