We are slowly sick and tired of reporting various rumors about Windows Mobile 6.5 considering that in roughly 3 weeks everything will be known, but apparently some early version of Windows Mobile 6.5 for certain old model of a Windows Mobile phone has leaked, and it is inept beyond belief:
According to iPhone Atlas and iPhone hacker-extraordinaire Jonathan Zdziarski, Apple has readied a blacklisting system which allows the company to remotely disable applications on your device. Apparently, the new 2.x firmware contains a URL which points to a page containing a list of “unauthorized” apps — a move which suggests that the device makes occasional contact with Apple’s servers to see if anything is amiss on your phone.

Despite what we and other media have hinted at, despite what Sprint itself is spending a lot of money trying to convey, the Samsung Instinct is not an iPhone killer. To be sure, Samsung and Sprint borrowed liberally from the iPhone playbook when it came to look and feel. But the comparison itself isn’t fair: The iPhone is a software platform that is growing every day, soon to have a host of applications that put it squarely in the smartphone category along with BlackBerry, Palm and Windows Mobile.

Due to business decisions Apple and the US carriers have made, most Americans are still not faced with the choice to buy an iPhone or not. They have to pick the best “feature phone” that their carrier has to offer. That is, a phone that costs somewhere between $50 and $250, built first and foremost to make voice calls, then serve additional social purposes—messaging, photos, etc.—and, finally, offer data connectivity to the web but more importantly to e-mail.

I have been hearing on the radio this commercial about getting my free laptop. Now being the cynical, non-trusting individual that I am when I hear such offers I want to investigate to find out the catch. Now obviously they do not disclose during the radio commercial anything about what is required to qualify for the free laptop. This should be illegal and banned by the FCC but I am not going to hold my breath.

We always knew Boston fan was a different breed. Any person willing to stick with a team through the Bill Buckner debacle is a special breed. Now we have further proof how loyal these freaks are.
