wm61_001 So, I just posted the release about Windows Mobile 6.1. It’s been out there and rumored/leaked for a bit, but today, it’s official. I have attached some screenshots from Windows Mobile 6.1 in the second part of this post.

There are quite a few promises for upgrades and new phones to come with Windows Mobile 6.1. I hope they don’t take as long as some of the promises of Windows Mobile 6 made by some companies back at CTIA 2007.
