http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2010/01/500x_lg-apollo.jpgYet more to-ing and fro-ing about the Windows Mobile 7 (http://gizmodo.com/tag/windowsmobile7/) launch, this time with Digitimes (http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20100122PD216.html) pointing at a Mobile World Congress announcement of an end-of-2010 launch. It's nothing we haven't heard before (http://gizmodo.com/5449137/rumor-windows-mobile-7-will-have-gestures-really-debut-in-february), but they're piling up (http://gizmodo.com/5451264/windows-mobile-7-rumor-explosion-two-versions-new-name-first-hardware) thick 'n fast now.
HTC hasn't been too sure on whether the HD2 will be upgraded with WinMo 7, but there's talk of a new HTC phone in town—the Obsession, or Diamond3, which Boy Genius Report believes (http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/01/21/htc-obsession-to-launch-on-att-and-t-mobile-as-the-diamond3/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheBoyGeniusReport+%28Boy+Gen ius+Report%29&utm_content=Google+Reader) will be offered on AT&T and T-Mobile. LG is also readying a phone for the big Microsoft push, called the Apollo—which WMPowerUser (http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=12265) and Let's Go Digital (http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/24776/lg-apollo/) are claiming will have an enormous amount of spec.
It's all pretty dubious, to say the least—a WinMo phone with a 10-megapixel camera and 720p video recording? Let's Go Digital (http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/24776/lg-apollo/) has published a picture of the supposed device, which looks just like the Viewty Smart (http://www.lge.com/uk/mobile-phones/all-lg-phones/LG-touch-screen-phones-GC900.jsp) running Windows Mobile (http://gizmodo.com/tag/windowsmobile/) 6.5. I honestly don't know what to think about Windows 7 anymore, just make it all go away while I lie down and whimper for a while. [Digitimes (http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20100122PD216.html)]
