The iPhone sports a relatively low screen resolution of 480 pixels down and 320 across, but the latest Windows Mobile device, like the HD2, has 800 pixels down and 480 across. In short this means that more data can fit on the screen at a time, translating to less scrolling in email, a higher resolution view of photos, better web experience, etc.

Motorola seems to be on a roll right now. Although its Droid hasn’t confirmed yet, but it probably will, Motorola seems to have planned more than 20 phones for next year.

How many of those 20+ phones are going to be Android phones and how many are going to be Windows Mobile phones? There’s no answer for this question yet. Although Motorola’s CEO Sanjay Jha has confirmed the number, he didn’t mention more details regarding those future smartphones.

We do know that Motorola isn’t interested in Windows Mobile 6.5 and since Windows Mobile 7 is expected in the second half of 2010 we can assume that most future Moto handsets will run Google’s OS.
