Android device sales hurting Windows Mobile sales, says HTC exec {Engadget Mobile}
Dec 26th 2008 10:44AM Did nobody notice that Smarthouse doesn't quote or even name an executive in its story?
"The HTC executive has also admitted that the new Google offering is hurting sales of Windows Mobile devices of which HTC are the biggest maker in the world."
They don't mention any executive at all in the story, other than in that final sentence. This isn't news. There are no sources. People make stuff up, and everybody else forwards it on as fact.

Garmin planning Android-powered handsets for late 2009 {Engadget Mobile}
Dec 22nd 2008 11:08AM DigiTimes is not known for being very reliable, and the fact that it does not attribute the comment about the Android phone coming in the second half of 2009 to Garmin's Tony An certainly leaves open the door for that bit of info to have come from some random analyst. DigiTimes has certainly been pretty loose with posting little factoids like that in the past.

Originally, both variants of the X1 were to have 1700MHz support. The initial press release back in February said as much. They have changed their plan, though.
