Sony ericsson intros winmo smartphone

Sony Ericsson has introduced a business smartphone powered by the latest version of Windows Mobile, which has the most advanced multi-touch capabilities from Microsoft to date.The Aspen, based on Windows Mobile 6.5.3, is scheduled to go on sale in selected markets the second quarter, Sony Ericsson said Tuesday. The device is targeted at business users, offering both a QWERTY keyboard and a multi-touch screen.

Other features meant to attract businesspeople is support for Microsoft Exchange. The device ships with the mobile editions of Microsoft Office and Outlook. Pricing was not disclosed.

Windows Mobile 6.5.3 doesn’t bring the smartphone OS to the level of multi-touch capabilities found in Google’s Android, the Apple iPhone, or the Palm Pre.

However, the OS does narrow the gap by making it possible to use a Microsoft-powered phone without a stylus. The biggest changes to the Microsoft platform are native support for a capacitive screen and multi-touch.

Such support within the OS means manufacturers can focus on other areas and developers can take advantage of those features without worrying so much about the device itself. Other features in WinMo 6.5.3 include a magnifier tool, which enables the operation of older applications that originally needed a fine-tipped stylus for navigation.

I have got a new job in a good IT company but its into service desk and its for remote infrastructure support.But i really want to be in a field which is technical oriented.I am really confused now whether to study mcse or linux or oracle as i am aware that without tech certification i cannot move into technical side.My doubt is whether working in service desk will help me in future to move into a technical track & what certification i shall do to survive in future and i have also completed CCNA but it didn't help me in anyway:).People who have an idea about this pls comment on this as i have no one to consult on this issue.If there is anyother good certification please let me know about that too.

CCNA is excellent but it does nothing for someone working the service desk. I've been in telecom for 10+ years and have no certifications, I have a degree in computer science though. Have you thought of doing VoIP support, they are always looking for someone Cisco certified. And unless you're ambitious, you won't move anywhere at the service desk really. You have to be motivated and sell yourself. You could also expand on the CCNA with CCNP or CCIE...
