Apple moves to protect iPhone UI
It's been less than a week since the iPhone was announced and the product is not even expected to ship for another six months, but Apple is aggressively protecting its Mac OS X-like interface on the iPhone. A group of users has already developed a skin for Windows mobile that enables users to mimic the iPhone interface, but one website that posted screenshots and links to the hack has already been threatened by Apple and its legal team.

Windows For Basic Phones Is Ready
Soleus, the Windows CE based operating system for non-smartphones, reached version 1.0 today, according to developer Intrinsyc. That means it's ready to go – but no retail cell-phone manufacturer has committed to building phones with the new OS yet.Most non-smartphones right now run on proprietary operating systems, such as Motorola's P2K, used in their RAZR phones, and Nokia's Series 40. Manufacturers then layer either Java or BREW programming environments over these OSes, to allow for third-party program development. But the proliferation of different OSes and different capabilities on mobile phones makes software development very tricky.

Vista looks good like a Mac
Now, before the hate-mail tsunami begins, it’s important to note that Apple has itself borrowed feature ideas on occasion, even from Windows. But never this broadly, boldly or blatantly. There must be enough steam coming out of Apple executives’ ears to power the Polar Express.

Windows vs. Linux vs. OS X
John Halamka, CIO of the Harvard Medical School and previously a dedicated Windows user, spent a month each with new notebooks running Red Hat Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows XP.
“I used to think that the Macintosh was something used by free spirits just to be different,” he says. “Now I realize the Mac has such superior human factor engineering that it’s used by people because they can be more productive. If Apple comes up with a 2- or 2.5-pound 12-inch-screen laptop that runs cool, has better integration with Exchange, and if Vista turns out to be the beast it could be, then I probably will move to a Mac.”

Key changes in the mentioned in the review and the conclusion at the end:
- Revamped outlook, refined icons;
- Totally re-mastered sound theme;
- Increased interface speed;
- Bundled IP-telephony (VoIP, SIP standard);
- Smart Dial 2.0, fast search through contacts, call history; removable on-screen virtual keyboard;
- Any tune can be assigned to any event;
- Support for shortcuts in Outlook Mobile;
- Full-fledged meetings arrangement system;
- Support for HTML in messages;
- Smart Filter – handy and fast search through messages;
- Numerous MS Exchange 2007-tailored changes;
- Integration with Windows Live online-services;
- Marketplace – purchase, download, and install directly from the device;
- Encryption – bundled memory card encryption
Regrettably, this world lacks miracles and this case is just another proof of that. The system still doesn’t offer support for several active windows in Internet Explorer, so that you are limited to a single window at a time, also profiles are missing in WM; the office applications haven’t been enhanced either. Nor were the multimedia tools. What the company has really got to do is keep on tuning Office Mobile, extending Windows Live, release Windows Media Mobile 11 and so on.
