Tis the Season...

I love this time in mid February when all the mobile phone manufacturers get together in Barcelona for the Mobile World Congress,  their 'trade fair' where they get to demonstrate their lovely new wares for the year ahead.

Also coming up this afternoon from the MWC is the Windows Mobile 6.5 official announcement (hopefully).
