Windows Mobile developers have been warned that their applications should support new resolutions (up to 480×800) and dynamic portrait/landscape change (which is not really new). The table above shows all the resolutions that applications should expect and it’s pretty interesting to know that we will (finally!) get something other than 320×240 – we have been stuck to that resolution for so enlarged, it is just weird because that is one of the most obvious improvements that one could have made without a lot of programming efforts.

Doesn’t Nintendo know we’ve got a bit of a weight problem going on by here Stateside? The company just released its highly-anticipated Wii Fit in Japan today, which will most likely sell like gangbusters, while simultaneously symbolizing the death of the hardcore gamer in Nintendo land to a small portion of the faithful not completely won by by Miyamoto’s latest charming contraption. Unfortunately, the Wii Fit won’t crossing any oceans until early next year. Nintendo’s official Japan street date for Wii Fit was December 1st, but it seems that at least a few online shops are disregarding that pesky fact.

The European Union’s next generation satellite navigation system has finally gotten to green light from all involved parties… except Spain. As we reported in July, the project had gotten the high five from US interests, but the works had been stalled as Spain fought to maintain a control center in Madrid. In the end, 26 of the 27 member states of the Union decided to move forward with the project, declining Spain’s demand, and leaving them to bow out of the agreement. As of now, there will only be control centers in Germany and Italy, but the project will start to move forward once again, with a launch slated for 2013. Says EU Transport Commissioner Jacques Barrot, “Galileo will become the spearhead for European technology.” We’re all for the new system, but we hope a few satellites don’t spark another Thirty Years’ War.

We’ve been hearing quite a bit about next week’s Fall Dashboard Update for the 360, but Microsoft’s finally ready to spill all of the beans. Obviously, the biggest update is the “Xbox Originals” downloadable Xbox games, but other improvements include enhanced online profiles, increased social networking, beefed up parental controls, improved menus, and our personal favorite: DivX support. As stated before, Xbox Original games, like Halo 1 and Fable, will be going for 1200 MS points (about $15), which is roughly comparable with your local game store’s bargain bin. plus on the fiscal side of things, assured titles on Xbox Live Arcade are getting permanent price drops, akin to “Platinum Hits” of retail titles. As for DivX, Microsoft was a little vague when speaking with Joystiq about it, but it sounds like XviD is in play as well, which is just double fun. It’s all hitting as a free download on December 4th, starting at 2AM PST.

At that point, we’re fairly positive i-Station will only use a number other than “43″ in its product titles once it has exhausted the entire US alphabet, but since we’re not quite to that point, we’re forced to live with U43 that go ’round. As expected, that Korean PMP is packed to the brim with features, including a 4.3-inch WQVGA (480 x 272) display, WinCE 5.0, a T-DMB receiver, GPS, e-dictionary, 30GB / 60GB hard drive and support for a smorgasbord of file formats. Notably, some features will depend on which flavor you pick up — Standard, DMB or NAVI — but the whole lot plays nice with MPEG1/2/3/4, AC3, DivX, XviD, WMV, WMA, OGG, WAV, AAC, FLAC, APE, JPEG, BMP and PNG. ‘Course, all that functionality won’t run ya cheap, as word on the street pegs that poor boy at ₩448,000 (or around $481).

In a recent chat with clients, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster did a little name dropping regarding Google’s Open Handset Alliance, casually mentioning in passing that Verizon “is a member.” Hold up there, chief; last moment we checked, that isn’t the case. Among US national carriers, only T-Mobile and Sprint have publicly thrown their hats into the Android ring, so we’re not certain whether Mr. Munster knows something we don’t (which is entirely possible) or whether he’s just a little confused. For what it’s worth, we can understand why he’d be confused in light of Verizon’s recent commitment to open its airwaves to all comers — the initiative appears to share much of the same spirit as the OHA’s charter, after all — but by the same token, Google’s intention to snap up 700MHz bandwidth would seemingly pit the two juggernauts against one another. We’ll have to wait and see whether Big Red’s name magically appears on the Alliance’s member list, but whether it does, the pressure’s gonna get pretty high on AT&T to cave, eh?
