This release has broken a few custom applications made by some, as the phone keyboard now needs to be written, and the previous method used an on screen keyboard [...]

Apparently this was released without much fanfare, but Google Maps Mobile v2.2.0.16 for your Windows Mobile smartphone / pocketpc has been released, which means it now provides transit directions on the go.

A coder in New Zealand bought a HTC Touch (rebranded as an OKTA Touch) wasn’t too impressed with Windows Mobile 6, and has begun porting Google’s Android OS over! His recent released version boots fine, only the joystick and volume keys work, but this a a very good step in the right direction.
