WM7: LG Apollo, HTC Obsession and OS info

[Malatesta]

We have two sources giving us details on the new OS, including device specs on the LG Apollo and HTC Obsession.

"Windows Mobile 7: What we expect and what we are hearing"

Hopefully that'll quench your rumor thirst for the day, lol.

I wonder if that is actually WM7 or just leaks from like a year or two ago?

We stress at the beginning of the article that none of the images are new, just older ones from other articles.

The hardware info was from the last few weeks. In fact, we had the LG specs before they said at CES they would release Seven device(s) in 2010 and before that tweet mentioning September. That's what perked our motivation to run that story.

Im not even getting excited about this... with those specs that phone is going to cost $1000

I would be more than happy to pay $1000 for those specs. I'm kind of skepticle on this not because the source is unreliable because it is but because It almost seems too good to be true.

Im sorry but paying a grand for a phone is pretty silly to me. Too many other things I could be doing with that money considering its just a phone.
