News Notes XM on your BlackBerry, WinMobile 6.1, MS Surface for Devices

Things in deviceland keep getting more interesting with each passing day.

For example, Windows Mobile 6.1 has officially seen the light of day. It is just a 'point' release, so there's not a tremendously long list of new features, but true, threaded SMS messaging might be worth the upgrade. Engadget has a list of affected devices and supporting carriers ...

But, maybe that's not exciting enough.

Well then, Bunky, maybe XM Radio on your BlackBerry will fit the bill. Gear Diary sums it up nicely:

XM Satellite radio is bringing 20 of their popular music channels to your Blackberry. The service was previously available via AT&T subscription ($8.99/mo). This newest release adds general availability for supported models no matter who your carrier is. For $ 7.99 month ...

The entire press release from XM can be read HERE.

Well, remember all the hoopla about Microsoft Surface  back a couple months ago? What if I told you it was coming soon to an AT&T device near you? Read THIS and  THIS (both from the oddballs at Engadget).

Yeah, I knew you'd be excited about that!
