As July draws to a close, we decided to give Samsung a call to find out how that Windows Mobile 6.1 update for the SGH-i780 handheld was coming along. It was targeted for an August release, but now it seems the company has pushed this back to October, citing "plans for an additional value-add". No specifics were given about what feature will be added, but at least it's still in progress.
Related to this is ASUS' decision not to launch a significant part of its upcoming WM6 portfolio in Singapore. We were told by the Taiwan-based company that the P560, M536, P550 and even the Lamborghini co-branded ZX1 will not be available for the island-state. We are awaiting a response regarding the rest of Asia Pacific and will provide an update once that's available.
