Next Windows Mobile version supports hard drives and push-to-talk
"Microsoft's share of the mobile device software market is estimated at 16 to 18 percent, while Symbian is seen having a 61 to 71 percent market share."
That's definitely not true! Most (read: almost all) phones still run OSE, REX/BREW, Nucleus etc. It's not even true when talking smartphones only, as this is not including all Blackberries and Treos out there that run neither Windows Mobile nor Symbian OS.
"The software will also work with "push-to-talk" features, which allows phone users to chat walkie-talkie style, by pushing a button when they want to talk to another party."
Would be very interesting to know what method they are using. SIP? H.324? Proprietary? I doubt the latter.
