MWC Looks Promising

The GSM Mobile World Congress in Barcelona later this month is looking more and more like a Smartphone lover's dream, with all manner of new kit on its way to launch.

As previously blogged, it looks as if Microsoft will drop its latest windows Mobile update - Steve Ballmer is keynoting so I would expect that he'll have something impressive to show off.

T-Mobile is likely to give us a first look at the new G2 Android phone, whilst on the subject of Android, Samsung are likely to give us a first glance of its first Android device. Another new device likely to make its debut in Spain is the GSM version of the Palm Pre although I suspect it will still be some time before we see one in the plastic.

Finally, a long shot, but reports are rife around the tech blogs that Dell will launch its first Smartphone at MWC - although no-one is able to confirm its OS, possibly Android, possibly Windows Mobile. If forced to make a prediction I'd say that Dell's close links with Microsoft will mean that its first Smartphone is more than likely to support Windows Mobile - even so far as to suggest that it may even feature in Steve Ballmers keynote address...
