Microsoft To Show Off “The Next Major Release Of Windows Phone” On May 24th

Posted: 09 May 2011 10:21 AM PDT

This invite just hit our inbox — and, well, now you know about as much as we do. Come May 24th at 10 AM, Microsoft will be previewing “the next major release of Windows Phone.” Mark your calendars, folks — as we are with just about every event, we’ll be there bringin’ back all the news at a breakneck pace.

What do you think: does “next major release of Windows Phone” mean a new piece of hardware running Windows Phone, or the next software build of Windows Phone? We’re betting it’s the latter. Gotta love that ambiguous wording, though.

Why is this man smiling?

HP’s new Datapass service works with HP’s latest crop of WLAN compatible laptops and includes wireless coverage throughout most parts of the US (essentially anywhere you get Sprint access.) Download prices are pretty steep: $5 for 75MB and $30 for 1GB but they are offering 100MB free to new trial customers.

HP is working with Peregrine to offer the service and it only works with select laptops with a 3G chipset.

No doubt the Galaxy S II is a great smartphone, and it’s apparently set to sell really well, too. Samsung says [KOR] that global pre-orders for their flagship Android 2.3 handset have reached 3 million as of the end of April (which means they should have received even more by now).

Exactly one week ago, we reported that in Samsung’s home market of South Korea alone, the 4.3-inch AMOLED device was pre-ordered 200,000 times.

Big S also says that the Galaxy S II will eventually be offered in 120 countries through a total of 140 different carriers.
