While HTC Universal (codename of JasJar) is a pretty old device now, it has been spotted running Windows Mobile 7. Windows Mobile 7 is destined to be released in the Q3 and we can expect the first Windows Mobile 7 device sometime in Q4 2010.

DEC D10, a $180 Windows Phone – From China
How cheap is too cheap? This is the same question that you will ask yourself after taking a glance at the D10 Windows Phone.
D10 is outfitted with a VGA (480×640) and is powered by PXA300 processor that runs at respectable 600MHz clock speed. Other specs include 256MB ROM, 128MB RAM, Wi-Fi, GPS, mini-USB port and a 3MP camera for taking pictures.
True, those specs are not top of the line, but at $180, we cannot complain much.

SDKs for Windows Mobile 6.5 : A mistake by MS
Microsoft just launched Software Development Kits(SDKs) for Windows Mobile 6.5 on their official website. But the link has now been removed when it was discovered by the developers that SDKs were not meant for Windows Mobile 6.5.
The SDKs actually contained tools for Windows Mobile 6.5.3, which is not yet unveiled. The kits are expected to be re-released at MWC in February.
A Microsoft spokeswoman says, "To provide the best experience possible for Windows phone developers, the SDK will be reposted once final testing has been conducted." Hope they release right SDKs this time.
