Microsoft Confirms Windows 7 Mobile UI
Rumours that Windows Mobile 7 announcement is scheduled for the first quarter of the new year was confirmed by the Vice President of Microsoft Office, Kurt Delbene. He also stated specifically that the launch will take place during Microsoft MIX 2010 conference in March.
This turns out to be good news since the rumour has been confirmed and we can now expect the launch of Windows Mobile 7 in less than half a year. I really hope it won’t exceed another six months before it runs on actual device. There is a very great likelihood that the release date cannot be earlier than the third quarter of next year being rumoured.
Microsoft has also delivered the beta versions of both desktop and mobile Office for 2010. What this means is that if you own a device running Windows Mobile 6.5 then you can download the beta version free of charge from Windows Marketplace.
Another juicy story is the simultaneous posting and removal of a screen shot of Microsoft Office Mobile 10 on its official web page. It displays a UI, similar to what we all saw a few months ago stating it was from Windows 7. Well, for now it still looks unkept, and no one can say for sure if it actually originated from Windows 7 or a cooked-up interface to deceive users.
The UI makes it easy to take documents fromyour smartphone back to your computer to enabling emailing to others
We can only just hope and await the next Windows Mobile installment scheduled for the first quarter of next year. (March to be precise)

LG GM750 Brings More of Windows Mobile 6.5
Microsoft’s launching of mobile phones using the Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional brings together an assortment of mobile devices, some are impressive and some others are not much. The LG GM750 stands as a pretty good device, but still unimpressive when compared to other devices.
LG’s GM750 stands as the second coming of the old GM730 -with a few minor hardware changes and the fact that the GM750 uses Windows Mobile 6.5 instead of 6.1. It is an interesting note however, that the 6.1 OS on the GM730 can be upgraded to version 6.5 as well.
Windows Mobile version 6.5 marks the debut of the Marketplace (the Windows Mobile applications store). The app store has long been wished for by Windows Mobile users as it would extend the functionality of any device.
Where to Get
LG GM750 deals are available at Vodafone, as they are the first company to release the LG GM750 in the UK. The device is available for free on several plans. Until Decemeber, Vodafone will be the only carrier to offer contracts for the GM750.
Specifications of the Phone
GM750 brings more than just Windows Mobile, it also uses the LG S-Class user interface. While the S-Class is not as impressive as the HTC Sense, the S-Class is still leagues better than the standard Windows Mobile interface.
The touch screen phone is responsive and navigating the S-class feels smooth. The 240 x 400 pixel resolution is perfect for watching videos on the go –though you would prefer to hold the device in your hand instead of mounting it as you would with devices with much larger screens. The lack of a physical keyboard also makes some tasks harder, such as typing in the Office for Mobile.
LG GM750 reviews often note the nice features being offered by Windows Mobile. The Office for Mobile, Windows Media Player 10 and other windows applications are very useful. Even if the actual Windows interface is not so well designed, the functions that Windows Mobile brings are really extensive.
