Microsoft put out their first-quarter earnings today… down, down, down…
- Revenue of $12.92 billion, down 14 percent from the first quarter (the three months ending Sept. 30) of 2008.
- Operating income was down 25 percent over Q1 2008, to $4.48 billion.
- Net income was $3.57 billion, down 18 percent from Q1 2008.
- Diluted earnings per share were 40 cents, down 17 percent.
- $1.47 billion of revenue was deferred because of the Windows 7 upgrade Option program. If you add that back into the tally, revenue would have totaled $14.39 billion, a 4 percent drop from Q1 2008.

The title says it all, doesn’t it?
PhoneNews.com has just gotten their hands on the 2009 lineup from
Sprint and on it are some great new
Windows Mobile devices including the
Touch Pro2 (with dual mode EVDO Rev. A and GSM/EDGE/HSDPA for you world travelers).
Check out the great images after the jump for the rest of the leaked devices that you can start looking forward to!

Looks like there are a slew of awesome WinMo 6.5 phones set to come out this year, according to WMPowerUser.
On top of the previously seen Touch Diamond2 and Touch Pro2, the “Firestone” (above), successor to the once promising Touch HD, runs a 3.6-inch WVGA display, 600MHz processor and Windows Mobile 6.5. According to my sources, this one should be out sometime in August 2009. There’s also the HTC Whitestone which packs a 3.6 inch WVGA screen, 5 megapixel camera, 256 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM, runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 and has a Qualcomm 7600 processor running at an impressive 528 Mhz. The device will have both GSM and EVDO and debut on the Verizon network in September.
Most impressive to us so far though is the poorly code named HTC “Thoth” which is clearly the Athena successor. The Thoth features a huge 4.8 inch WVGA screen, a 5 megapixel camera, 256 MB RAM/512 MB ROM, Windows Mobile 6.5, of course… but get this: It runs on a Qualcomm 8250 processor at 1000 Mhz! Keep your eyes peeled for this sexy lil thing September 2009!
