Windows Mobile 7: Should Microsoft even bother?
,----[ Quote ]
| When looking at all the competitors for
| smartphone supremacy, you might say the
| Windows Mobile is DLF in the rankings
| (although a recent report places it at third
| place). Some would even contend that
| Microsoft would have been better off never
| entering this race if it weren't going to put
| up a good fight. That may shock the 7.2
| million users of the Microsoft smartphone OS,
| especially those in the enterprise who don't
| see the iPhone as a serious contender at all
| (due in part to Apple's history of ignoring
| the needs of the enterprise in favor of the
| individual user).

Microsoft responds to 2016 SMS bug; not just cell phones affected
,----[ Quote ]
| The saga of the Year 2016 text message bug
| continues. While there's not an official
| fix as of yet we, do have a workaround
| (download here). And we just received an
| official statement from a Microsoft
| spokesperson:
|
| âMicrosoft is aware of reports that
| phone messages received after 1/1/2010
| may be dated 2016. These reports have
| not yet resulted in widespread customer
| inquiries; however, we are working
| closely with our manufacturing and
| mobile operator partners to investigate
| the cause and correct the issue as
| appropriate.â

2016 bug hits Windows phones
,----[ Quote ]
| The date bug which is interfering with Aussie
| point of sale transactions has spread to some
| Windows mobile phones.
|
| The glitch means that text messages received
| since New Year's Eve will appear with a 2016
| date. Card scanners in thousands of Australian
| shops have also been hit, as we reported
| yesterday. Bank of Queensland systems, believing
| it was 2016, rejected most payment cards because
| they'd passed their expiry date.
