In addition to being HP's first Windows Mobile 6.5 device, it's also the first smartphone for AT&T and HP to include a relatively color rich AMOLED touchscreen.

The executive was emphatic that Microsoft was still in a comfortable position with "96 out of 100" choosing Windows worldwide but acknowledged that Apple had cut into Microsoft's share in the past year. He downplayed the amount, labeling it a "a c... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/19/ms.shareholder.meeting.shows.share.worries/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/18/ms.accidentally.shows.win.mobile.7.shot/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/windowsmobile7-msleak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Microsoft today inadvertently previewed its next mobile OS through a preview of Office Mobile 2010.
