| Windows Phone 7 Getting Mutli-Tasking, IE9 and Twitter integration, all coming this year Posted: 14 Feb 2011 08:31 AM PST  Today in a keynote at Mobile Word Congress in Barcelona Steve Ballmer, revealed that Windows Phone 7 will receive several key new features and capabilities that will make it an attractive option for even more people coming this year.
He confirmed that Windows Phone 7 is getting multitasking for third-party apps and a suite of other updates, including Twitter integration and IE9 Mobile.
Bits from Microsoft press release :
Summary :
A free customer update will be made available for all Windows Phones in the first two weeks of March, which includes new capabilities such as copy & paste and faster application performance.
With added support for CDMA networks, Windows Phone will be available to even more customers on mobile operators such as Verizon and Sprint in the first half of 2011.
The popular social networking service Twitter will be integrated into the People Hub in the second half of 2011.
Document sharing and storage in the cloud via Windows Live SkyDrive will be added to Windows Phone in the second half of 2011.
A dramatically enhanced Internet Explorer 9 web browser will be added to Windows Phone in the second half of 2011. It will feature the same standards support (HTML5, etc.) and hardware accelerated graphics as the PC version.
We will add the ability to switch quickly between applications, run applications in the background (such as listening to music), along with a number of other capabilities in the second half of 2011. Developers will learn much more about this during April's MIX conference. [Images via Engadget]           | |

| Mobile Documents beta updated with new features and bug fixes Posted: 14 Feb 2011 06:20 AM PST Nokia Betalabs just released updated version of 'Mobile Documents' v0.9.20 by Visarc. The updated client now supports more devices, more email services and also fixes some bugs.
New Features added to v0.9.20:
Finally, we release an updated version for Symbian^1 and S60. Many new features are included and many issues have been fixed. One example, there is now an integration with the native email notification framework (no more text/SMS messages).
Perhaps the most requested feature of all is here, Hotmail support. Now pretty much whatever email service you use, Mobile Documents now got it covered with a streamlined setup, (except POP3 like Rediffmail mail).
We now support all methods to connect to Microsoft Exchange servers, Activesync, Web Services (and IMAP) – for synchronizing your mail accounts.
Now home screen widgets are available for Symbian^1 devices too (on compatible devices), with three different layouts.
Mobile Documents uniquely sports cherry picking to send attachments. Now you can add and email documents and images directly from your Nokia phone too.
For example, publish multiple documents to Mobile Document archives at once and email pinch zoom is available (Symbian^3 only). There are also multiple fixes for various imperfections. [Via Betalabs]      | |
