So I come in early to write in quiet and get to listen to a copier repair man curse at the machine (he thinks he’s alone). Ugh…

As I took my bag off my shoulder this morning, it flew up and hit me in the face. Thankfully that’s the worst Monday has thrown at me so far

Just booked my plane tickets for MVP Summit 2010! Got surprisingly good fare… feel strangely suspicious.

“HP has produced several Windows Mobile products over the years. From the iPAQ and Jornada PDA’s to the iPAQ Windows Mobile phones they have created a bit of history with the Microsoft operating system. HP hopes to continue its strong history with Windows Mobile with the Glisten Announced a few weeks ago, the Glisten is a front-facing QWERTY keyboard, touch screen Windows phone is available through AT&T as well as directly from HP. We had an opportunity to take a pre-production model of the Glisten out for a test drive and found it to a nice phone.”

WMExperts has taken a look at the latest iPAQ offering and in the end they like it! For a pretty exhaustive write-up and some nice pictures, take a look at their review!

“Finally, the teaser’s over. The latest delivery to Engadget’s UK penthouse is the Jabra STONE Bluetooth headset due out in the US on 8th November, and we took no time to extract the pebble from the transparent cylinder. In front of us are the two parts of the STONE: an earpiece of a breakthrough form factor that instantly makes you pity its rivals, and behind it is the accompanying portable charging base which serves as an external battery.”

The STONE certainly looks impressive from an aesthetic standpoint, however I’d be more inclined to care about how it works functionally. Engadget has a full gallery of photos and their thoughts, for those of you looking to grab a new headset in the near future!

“We’re currently at a multi-purpose Microsoft event right now — an event touring the company’s holiday lineup, as well as today’s launch of Windows phone devices (AKA, Windows Mobile 6.5). We had a chance to sit down with Robbie Bach, President of Microsoft’s Entertainment & Devices Division, and ask him some questions about where the big M is headed with its recent lineup.”

While the conversation with Robbie Bach had some interesting points on Windows Mobile and Windows Phones in general, in light of the recent Sidekick fiasco, I found the following point slightly ironic:

Peter Rojas asks about the company’s acquisition of Danger. Robbie: “There were clear reasons for us to acquire Danger — I think in time that will pan out. It wasn’t another OS, it was services… the Sidekick isn’t our brand, it’s T-Mobile’s brand.”

Oh how I bet many at Microsoft would love to keep repeating that mantra over the next week…
