![]() ![]() The bottom line: This is not a huge upgrade to Windows Mobile, but it is a major one, and worthy of celebration. That said, we've seen plenty of newer (leaked) builds of Windows Mobile 6.5 that emphasize finger-friendliness even more, but we're not expecting to see those builds until a 6.5.1 release later this year or, more likely, early next year. Internet Explorer 6 is much improved over previous versions (though there's still plenty of room for improvement).īut when you get down to it (and this is something we've been aware of since 6.5's announcement), it's really just a reskinning of Windows Mobile 6.x. ![]() There's a new Today Screen and a new Home Screen. That's where you'll see the greatest difference in use over previous Windows Mobile experiences. Windows Mobile 6.5 primarily is a Big Deal for those of you using touchscreen (Professional) devices. But in the meantime, there's Windows Mobile 6.5. Windows Mobile 6 has been long in the tooth for quite a while now, and we're anticipating a major overhaul with Windows Mobile 7. It's no great secret that updates to Windows Mobile are few and far between. In the meantime, join us after the break for a brief primer of what we're expecting. We'll be there live in New York City for the whole shebang, so be sure to check in Tuesday morning. After months and months of waiting after Windows Mobile 6.5 was announced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Microsoft's work comes to fruition, with a massive worldwide launch of the new operating system, new phones, and new (or not so new) services from Microsoft. ![]()
