[From Eric Mann] I want a Treo and I want one now is something Eric spotted over at Stuff Magazine. "Not long to go till the Treo 750v finally hits Vodafone stores. After one of the most drawn out launches of all time (first partial product shots of the keyboard, then pre-orders for business users and now, finally, a full launch), Palm's first 3G smartphone will be on the shelves from 2nd October."
Mobile web shake-up gets started. "The mobile web is about to receive the biggest shake-up in years with the start of open registration for mobile phone-specific website addresses. The general public can now register websites ending with .mobi (dotmobi) as the backers of the mobile net hope to overturn consumer apathy." More over at the BBC
Microsoft is considering the early release of a fix for a bug in Internet Explorer that malicious hackers are actively exploiting online. Again the BBC.

[From SLewis] Brighthand's new editorial - The Latest Glimpse Into the Future of Windows Mobile . "I recently got a briefing from Microsoft on the next two versions of Windows Mobile, and there's good news and bad news. The good news is that both of these upcoming versions look good. The bad news is that neither of them will be available any time soon. A pre-condition of getting this briefing was that I'm only allowed to share my impressions of these upcoming versions, not give any details. Still, half a loaf is better than none, as the saying goes."
