Working LEGO Gun Will Make You Shoot Bricks

One man's LEGO is another man's treasure, and what better way is there to guard your grand stash of colored bricks than by using the bricks themselves as a weapon?

Microsoft and LG agreed to a deal that will put Windows Mobile 6, aka Crossbow, onto future LG smartphones. Could this include the upcoming LG Prada phone?

Unsubstantiated rumors (what else?) from a French Web site point to Asus launching the 3G P3xx, a Windows Mobile 6-based smartphone due in the third quarter.

Windows Mobile Crossbow Reviewed (Verdict: Not Enough New Stuff)

The guys at Mobile Review have gotten their hands on a copy of what they're calling Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 for Pocket PC, otherwise known as Crossbow. While they decry its paucity of all-new features, the good news is there will be increased interface speed and bundled IP telephony, along with a bunch of new noises the thing makes.

Leaked Screens for Next Generation Windows Mobile OS

Crossbow, the next generation Windows Mobile OS, looks to be shaping up quite nicely. We covered some potential features before, but this is the first screenshot we've seen of the new front page.
