4.3-inch ZTE Tania unveiled, ZTE’s first Windows Phone Mango handset
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftZTEWindows Phone 7.5
The ZTE Tania (codename) is the first Windows Phone Mango handset by Chinese phone maker ZTE and it’s definitely got some looks, but does it match it with potent hardware? The ZTE Tania, unveiled at China International Communications Exhibition 2011, lies just around the mid-range of WP devices, so it doesn’t go into dual-core territory, but it’s still got some decent-looking specs.

Verizon Mango update also coming on the 27th September
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftVerizon WirelessWindows Phone 7.5
We believe AT&T will roll out the Windows Phone 7.5 Mango update on the 27th, and now Verizon customer support appears to suggest the CDMA carrier will be launching the software update on the same day also.
Of course customer service reps are not always the most knowledgeable and accurate in the world, but the 27th seems as likely a day as any to bring all those HTC Trophies up to date.

For a very short time, we tried to cling to the blind hope that HP's changing of the guard might lead to some good news about WebOS, but it looks like that hope may already be dashed. HP's new CEO, Meg Whitman, has decided that the course set by previous CEO, Leo Apotheker, is as good as any, and that HP will keep on that path.

Windows 8 secure boot spurs OS lock fears, Microsoft answers
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows 8
Microsoft's Tony Mangefeste in a response to early adopters tried to calm down fears that Windows 8 might be used to shut out Linux or competing operating systems. After Red Hat engineer Matt Garrett worried that the UEFI firmware's secure boot feature could be used to exclude non-official operating systems, Sinofsky stepped in to clarify that it was part of the spec and not Microsoft's policy. The code is also an optional policy that, even when active, could still let someone install another OS without a flag preventing the new OS from running.
PC builders can both set which party has control over the security certificates used to greenlight an OS as well as letting customers load certifica...

Verizon expects Windows Phone to overtake BlackBerry
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftRIM BlackBerryVerizon WirelessWindows Phone 7
Despite the poor sales of Microsoft’s Windows Phone devices, Verizon seems to have more confidence in the platform than RIM’s BlackBerry. During the Goldman Sachs Communacopia conference, Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam expressed his opinion on which platform would emerge as the third major mobile operating system and he believed that Windows Phone would overtake BlackBerry.
McAdam echoed the sentiment of other carriers, which feel that the mobile space will ultimately boil down to three major platforms. At the beginning of this year, the top mobile ecosystems were Apple’s iOS, Google’s Android, Nokia’s Symbian, RIM’s BlackBerry, and HP’s WebOS. At present, Nokia has abandoned Symbian for Windows ...
