No, Samsung isn’t launching any social networking site for lovers. Wave is the new name they have given to their first Super AMOLED phone, which is widely speculated to be launched at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, in less then 24 hours from now.
Folks at Engadget came across a teaser on the Samsung Unpacked site that says “on Feb 14, a new mobile from Samsung is born. See it First in Barcelona”.

According to a MobileCrunch tipster (who is actually a developer) Microsoft is going pretty Apple-like with the upcoming Windows Mobile 7. Apart from the old rumors of the WM 7 making a official appearance at MWC next month we now hear that Microsoft has completely rewired the OS such that it has no backward compatibility (i.e. none of the old apps would run on new devices) and the new interface is ‘just as’ what we have seen with the Zune HD.

Microsoft would define the standards for the hardware much more closely with the new OS and manufacturers would be allowed to build devices for the platform only if they adhere to these specifications (namely RAM, screen type/size, CPU). Customizations done by manufacturers (eg HTC’s Sense UI) would no longer by supported and the UI would be what Microsoft offers. Xbox Live for gaming + messaging and Zune integration is also expected. (more…)

Microsoft seems to have something to counter the OS X features on the iPhone. One of the biggest drawbacks for all so called iPhone Killers has been the lack of intelligent OS.
The iPhone is strongly backed by addons like the AppStore and MobileMe. But come next month MWC (Mobile World Congress) things might well change. Apparently the Windows Mobile 6.5 has some amazing features coming up.
