Ubuntu hits HTC’s Touch Pro2, is any Windows Mobile handset safe? (video)
If there's one thing we're pretty sure Windows Phone 7 Series will be worse at than its Windows Mobile precursor it's in the running of various and sundry other operating systems. We've seen Android running on seemingly every WinMo handset ever created and more recently Ubuntu has been receiving the mobile treatment.

Customer greeted with malware on Vodafone-issued HTC Magic (good thing it’s discontinued)
Crapware's bad enough, but having your life torn asunder simply by plugging in that shiny new (insert USB-connected device here) is an exciting new trend -- viruses find their way into the darnedest places, don't they?

Motorola Backflip doesn’t allow non-Market apps, proves AT&T doesn’t get Android
Let's step into the time warp, shall we? Specifically, we'd like to go back to our interview of AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega at MWC last year when we asked him about the carrier's support for Android (or lack thereof): Chris: Okay, and expanding on that a little bit, I heard you speak at CTIA last year and you mentioned that... you mentioned basically the same comments about Android at that time.

Bad news: HTC says the Nexus One doesn’t ‘go in pockets’
One of the biggest mysteries in the blogosphere right now is probably Crave's Nexus One , which somehow developed a cracked screen while simply charging on the desk (sounds familiar, right ?). Not even HTC could unearth the cause from its forensic inspection, but it didn't rule out the possibility of a small crack growing over time due to, for example, "getting knocked around by keys" and repetitive squeezes in tight pockets.

Windows Phone 7 Series demo video reveals new apps, screens
Microsoft may be saving most of its Windows Phone 7 Series news for MIX the week after next (at least that's what we've heard whispers about), but it looks like it's still dishing out a few more details beforehand, as evidenced by a short demonstration Microsoft's Charlie Kindel gave to CNET . Nothing major like a confirmation of HD2 support, but we do get a glimpse of a few apps we haven't seen before (including a flashlight, level, and weather app -- all supposedly "trivial" to build thanks to XNA and Silverlight ), and a look at some new screens for various applications we have seen, including a better look at the Xbox Live hub

Entelligence: Will Android fragmentation destroy the platform?
My friend and colleague Harry McCracken recently bought a brand new Droid from Motorola. He says it's a " loaf of day old bread. " He's right.

BlackBerry Pearl 9100 to come in SureType and QWERTY flavors?
Remember Nokia's E52 and E55 ? Espoo took an interesting tactic with these two: start with the same basic phone and operating system, but offer it with two different keypad layouts (in fact, HTC did the same with its Touch Dual ). It's not a bad idea -- different strokes for different folks, right
