The Cowon D3 has yet to be announced and released to the masses, but that has not stopped it from being the subject of rumors that it is powered by the Android operating system. Whatever the case is, we do hope that the use of an Android OS on that upcoming portable media player (if proven true) would not detract from the overall user experience, as it needs to be well executed in order to prove worthy of inclusion, and not just implemented haphazardly simply considering there are no license fees to fork out.

Skype for Windows Mobile has been discontinued simply considering of a subpar user experience when compared to the iPhone and Symbian version. According to Skype, “Our focus is on providing a rich user experience that allows you to enjoy free Skype-to-Skype and low cost calls as easily on the move as you do at your desktop. We felt that Skype Lite and Skype for Windows Mobile were not offering the best possible Skype experience.” Guess that means those who want to install Skype for Windows Mobile won’t be able to do so, but folks who have already done so can continue using it. Could we be looking at a Windows Phone 7 series later next year?

It seems that the folks at Lenovo are mulling by whether to roll out a 10.1″ version of the X100e business netbook, where it will run off the Intel Atom N450 Pine Trail processor assuming the support page is right in their specifications. A smaller display area would translate into a more portable experience, while the trademark thin bezel that Lenovo has incorporated into its netbooks could aftereffect in a more compact user experience. Hopefully the battery life of the revamped machine is something that makes it worth owning.to be believed. The smaller screen would mean it will be more portable and whether it’s going to be a ThinkPad, the trademark tiny bezel will mean a much more compact netbook overall. I hope they can push the battery life to at least 8 hours with that new setup, something business travelers would welcome very much.
