The HP iPAQ 900 Series, just got approved by the FCC. Featuring a ton of goodies including GPS, HSDPA support, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and more, this is one venerable all-in-one. Called a Business Messenger, the HP iPAQ 900 series is bundled with a Stylus and comes with a 1940 mAh Li-polymer rechargeable battery. For some reason, it is shipped with a wired stereo handset, but hey, it’s got Bluetooth, so I’m sure you’ll end up buying spankin’ wireless ones. Running on Windows Mobile 6, the device takes in microSD memory cards for added memory. There’s also an on-board 3-megapixel camera with flash.No word on the pricing or availability yet.

It looks like Asian handset outfit MWg is getting ready to bust out the family tree and make an homage back to the lands of its ancestors for a triumphant (it’d hope, anyway) new beginning. However, now - where MWg doesn’t belongs to O2/Telefónica any longer but belongs to Expansys now - the Windows Mobile specialist is expanding its business to Europe as well.MWg is holding a press event next month which is about the official European launch of MWg. Mark Billington, former head of O2 Asia and now CEO of MWg will provide an introduction to the company’s objectives and strategies.

Today Alltel Wireless and U.S. Cellular announced availability of the Motorola Q 9c on their networks.This is the same basic Q 9c that has been available for some time on Sprint. On top of the basic black version that they will be offering, Alltel and U.S. Cellular will both be offering the new Q 9c Lime - a bright green version of the popular smartphone.

The Windows Mobile smartphone may have a full QWERTY keyboard and 2.4-inch display, but it’ll be the vivid colour that everyone is looking at.  If you’re not so bold, but still fancy a 1.3-megapixel fixed-focus camera with flash, 128MB of onboard memory and support for microSD cards up to 32GB in size, you’ll be relieved to hear that they’re making a far more sober Licorice (black to you and I) version, which you can see after the cut.

While US Cellular are yet to reveal pricing details, Alltel will eventually sell you either the Lime or Licorice Q9c for $99.99 after a wretched $100 mail-in rebate, assuming you sell them your cellular soul for a two-year contract.  The handsets are expected to launch this Summer.

After the success of the Google Search homescreen plugin for S60 handsets - which Vincent described as making “a big difference” to handset usability - the search company has announced a similar app for Windows Mobile handsets. Google has now brought its home screen search application to the WinMo platform, noting on its blog that it has discovered that S60 and BlackBerry users with the app installed are able to get to Google search results about 40 percent quicker than those without — and they search 20 percent more. Makes sense, considering the pain involved with loading the browser, navigating to a favorite (or even worse, typing in google.com by hand) and tapping your feet for a few seconds. The plug-in is available immediately.
