As expected, HTC's Touch.B device isn't running Android or even WinMo 6.5, with MobiFrance's video showing off Qualcomm's mysterious BrewMP platform. Not familiar with BrewMP?

Windows Mobile 7 Screenshots Leak: Where's the Start Button?
PocketNow got ahold of some screenshots apparently culled from WinMo 7, since they look a little flashy and aesthetically different from WinMo 6.5—and that's definitely a good thing. More »Mockup Offers More Details On Windows Mobile 7 UI
Rumor has it that the bottom section of the image above is an internal mockup of what UI controls on Windows Mobile 7 might look like (compared to WinMo 6.5). More »Windows Mobile 6.5.1: Must...Keep...Polishing

Set to debut on the HTC Leo/HD2/whatever, we've seen screenshots of HTC's updated TouchFLO 3D but now we've got some video.

There's word that if an app is unapproved and removed from Marketplace for Mobile, Microsoft's version of Apple's App Store, then it will also be removed from all users' devices. No information on whether that includes refunds for paid apps. More »HTC Leo Is the First Windows Mobile Phone With Multitouch
