Microsoft and Qualcomm have entered a deal to have Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system work more closely with Qualcomm latest wireless chipset. Qualcomm's 7000 series Mobile Station Modem (MSM) chipset combines a radio modem and applications processor on one chip. This allows a resulting phone to maintain better battery life and have a smaller physical size.
The new software should be ready sometime in the second half the year and will allow phone manufacturers to more easily create their devices.

Handspring and Orange Partner
The well-known PDA maker Handspring has partnered with European mega company Orange SA to develop new smart phones. The phones will be used exclusively in Europe on Orange's network. At this time there is no word on a time frame or feature set.
The Register has a little on this move--but no firm details.
Update: We've gotten word that the phone will be an updated Treo. Should be available in September '03 under the Orange brand name.
