Dear readers, friends and followers of the::unwired! As every year, on behalf of the::unwired, I want to wish you a very merry Christmas! It was a pleasure to work for you by finding the latest news, testing devices, software and services and just being part of a great community. I want to say thank you, dear loyal readers, for visiting the::unwired another year and making the site a great Microsoft Windows Phone, Google Android and sometimes HP webOS - resource. Thanks for all your input, thoughts, feedback, tips and E-Mails! Furthermore I want to thank all contributing editors and helpers in the background for their hard work!

Last but not least I have and want to thank all supporting companies, manufactures, carriers, developers and advertisers for their support, namely Microsoft, HP/Palm, O2 Germany, Deutsche Telekom, Movicel, HTC, Huawei, Nokia, Samsung and last but not least Trademark PR aka Bite Communications and Weber Shandwick for their very special support of the::unwired!

And as every year, now this is a real the::unwired tradition, I would like to recall John Lennon's great Christmas song "Happy Christmas":

So this is Christmas - And what have you done Another year over - And a new one just begun And so this is Christmas - I hope you have fun The near and the dear one - The old and the young A very merry Christmas - And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one - Without any fear And so this is Christmas - For weak and for strong For rich and the poor ones - The world is so wrong And so happy Christmas - For black and for white For yellow and red ones - Let's stop all the fight A very merry Christmas - And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one - Without any fear And so this is Christmas - And what have we done Another year over - And a new one just begun And so this is Christmas - I hope you have fun The near and the dear one - The old and the young A very merry Christmas - And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one - Without any fear Happy Christmas by John Lennon

If there are no further breaking news now, like Microsoft takes-over Google, or Google takes-over Apple, or AOL takes-over the::unwired, I'm more or less off-duty now and soon on the way to my family! Have a great Christmas!

Merry Christmas and cheers ~ Arne
