        Korean firm Bluebird Soft has added a new Windows Mobile 6 Professional device to its range of phones and PDAs. The Pidion BM-350 has a GPS receiver, WiFi, Bluetooth, an FM radio, and supports both quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900MHz) and 2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA telephony, according to the company.
