It’s a mobile phone explosion this week with the Mobile World Congress taking place this week. At an hour and a half this is one of the longest gdgt weeklies in recent times as well, if not ever.
A lot of the phones coming out of the show are based on Windows Mobile 6.1. With everyone waiting for the already knowingly limited 6.5 release coming late this year, it’s hard to get too excited about many of these new phones. We can expect prettied up graphic overlays though. Exciting!
Apple creates their app store and 8-10 months later cue the release of everyone else’s app store. Not exciting.
Needless to say, if you are not interested in cellphone news, you should skip to the last 20 minutes.
As expected, this week is all full-up on cellphone news from Mobile World Congress, and we’ve got the rundown on the biggest announcements; everything from Windows Mobile 6.5, to Nokia’s N86 and E75, to HTC’s Touch Pro 2 and Touch Diamond 2, to Microsoft’s and Nokia’s mobile app stores. We’ll also dish on Sirius XM’s last-minute lifeline, Sony’s shuttered flagship store, and Nintendo’s upcoming DSi launch, but if you’re ready to deep-dive into mobile, this week’s extra long show is definitely for you.
Runtime – 1:30:00
