Windows Mobile Delayed… until 2010?
Matt over at VentureBeat is suggesting that Microsoft is delaying Windows Mobile until 2010. Steve, have you heard about Android? What about a suite of Microsoft applications for the open platform instead of spending time on your own operating system for mobile phones that no one can afford?

T-Mobile G1 Sold Out! WTF?
T-Mobile’s first Android based phone, the G1, has sold out almost a month before you can actually get your hands on one. This according to TmoNews, the Unofficial T-Mobile Blog. People are desperate to get their hands on this device. The handset is great, but the real story is Android, the open platform that makes the G1 go. If you want an early look at the G1 and you happen to live in Dallas you can check it out at the Startup Happy Hour on Monday (RSVP here). We will have at least two live G1 units where we can demo our application.
If you are interested in becoming part of the Android developer community in Dallas we invite you to join us at AndroidDevCamp on October 25th (RSVP here). In the spirit of iPhoneDevCamp, AndroidDevCamp seeks to capitalize on the release of the first mobile phone running Google’s open source operating system, Android. The power of Android isn’t grounded in a particular carrier or handset maker, instead the power of Android comes from you – the developer. The promise of Android is great, with backers including Google, HTC, Intel, Motorola, Qualcomm, Samsung, LG, T-Mobile, Nvidia and Wind River System (all members of the Open Handset Alliance). Come be a part of the future of mobile phones and build applications based on a set of open standards for ALL mobile devices. Dallas is home to not just one Android Challenge Winner, but TWO! Rylan Barnes, the original developer of GoCart (now ShopSavvy) will be demonstrating his application and sharing his year long odessy of development on the Android platform. Jason Hudgins, part of the team that developed TuneWiki, will also be demonstrating his application and sharing his experiences with Android as well.

Apple to cut iPhone production by 4 million
According to ZDNet, Apple is reducing production of the iPhone by 4 million units for the remainder of the year. Is this because of the launch of the G1 Android based phone, the state of the economy or perhaps just a miscalculation by Apple? You decide.
