In a surprising move, Research In Motion today announced that they will start to produce software that will let you run BlackBerry applications on select Windows Mobile 6 devices. The BlackBerry software will run side-by-side with Windows Mobile applications as a dedicated icon on the programs list.

All of the popular BlackBerry applications, including e-mail, phone, text messaging, web browsing, and organizer capabilities are expected to be supported. In addition, devices running the suite will be able to interact with BlackBerry Enterprise and Internet servers, and take advantage of their popular “push” e-mail capability.

No specifics were revealed about which particular Windows Mobile devices will support the BlackBerry Application Suite, but details should emerge later this year.

I’ve seen phones with GPS and PDAs with GPS, but this is the first time I’ve seen a full Windows Mobile phone with built-in GPS navigation capabilities.

The Dopod P800W is a full Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphone with 802.11b/g wireless, Bluetooth and an integrated SiRF III GPS receiver. In addition the phone features a 2 megapixel digital camera an FM radio and an innovative trackball controller. You can even take photos and record the current GPS coordinates at the time they were taken, and used as landmarks for the on-board navigation software. The phone works on all GSM/EDGE phone networks. Available in China under the Dopod name, the same phone is available in Europe under the moniker “HTC Artemis.”

Technabob — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 17:26:45 +0000

This new mobile phone incorporates a complete Pocket PC and a cell phone in a single, compact form-factor. Rather than going the route of others by either offering the dumbed-down Windows “Smartphone” interface, or the large size of other Pocket PC phone combos, the izenMobile Krma phone attempts to combine the best of both worlds in a single device.

The phone is expected to offer a 2 megapixel digital camera, a 2.2-inch LCD screen, FM tuner and Bluetooth support. Wi-fi support will also be available as an add-on using a MiniSD card.
