Microsoft officially announced Windows Mobile 6.1, along with an upgrade for Internet Explorer Mobile. In a similar move, Sony officially announced that the XPERIA X1 will be running Windows Mobile 6.1, news which was already assumed but not yet verified.

The X1 will have WM 6.1 behind the scenes, but will have a custom UI running on top of it, which will “enable a highly user-focused experience with enhanced connectivity, messaging and multimedia features”.

The more I hear about the X1, the more excited I get about it. I hope it can live up to the hype.

Google has just released Google Gears for Mobile Devices. As posted in the GearsBlog:

The mission of Gears is to extend the capabilities of web browsers. It is clear to us that mobile browsers can benefit just as much as desktop ones. By adding features to mobile browsers, it becomes possible to deploy an increasing number of mobile applications as web apps.

Gears currently only runs on Internet Explorer for Windows Mobile versions 5 and 6. However, it is expected to find its way onto other platforms soon.
