Final version of Firefox was today released for the Nokia N900. The final version comes only 3 days after they released the Release Candidate 3 of the browser, so it is basically the same version. To download this version, go to http://firefox.com/m with your N900’s default browser.

The iPad UI has been ported to jailbroken iPhone’s using Winterboard(available via Cydia). The process is not hard, but you need to do many small things to achieve this. Hit read more for an instructional video, and a guide on how to do it.
MSFTKitchen has been doing a whole lot of digging on Microsoft’s server to have found the slide you can see above. The Chinese presentation was created on the 11th December 2009, and by then Windows Mobile 7 RTM(Release To Manufacturers) was scheduled for a Spring release.
A spring RTM date would mean a summer/fall release date for phones with Windows Mobile 7.

New evidence on Microsoft’s own phone project, the Project Pink, have appeared in the newest Zune software version. A few days ago we wrote that Microsoft had “no plans to create a Zune Phone”, but apparently the spokesperson was lying about that.
The new evidence which is buried in the Zune software is pointing to “eEndpointFamilyPmxPure” and “eEndpointFamilyPmxTurtle”. Turtle and Pure, are both names that were last time around when there were rumors about Project Pink.
The PMX in those names stands most probably for Premium Mobile eXperiences.
Who knows, Microsoft could announce their own branded phone at the press conference they will keep in February at the Mobile World Congress?
If you need more evidence on this, hit read more.
A new Release Candidate was today released of the Firefox browser for Nokia N900/N810.

Eldar Murtazin is on it again, which is leaking information. This time around it is about Windows Mobile 7, and its minimum system requirements. They seem quite high-end in my opinion. Maybe there will be two different versions of Windows Moible 7, one dedicated to high-end phones(Professional?) and one dedicated to basic phones(Basic?)? Or, maybe Windows Mobile 6.6 is bound for lower-end, and Windows Mobile 7 for high-end smart phones?
Minimum requirements for Windows Mobile 7 (Professional?):

Samsung is kicking it real good with their coming Android phones. Androphones.com has gotten info on Samsung Galaxy 2. One thing that you can say straight away about the Galaxy 2, is that it’s much more appealing to the eye than its predecessor. Actually, the phone resembles much the Nexus One.

Not exactly what this site is about, but here is the official Apple iPad video.
