Hulk and windows mobile

Wow! This is great!

Few days ago, I’ve posted about Motorola’s head of mobile division accidentally slip of the tongue about Windows Mobile 6.5.

As we learned by now, those things are always an indication that something is truly happening.

And indeed, Steve Ballmer, at the Telstra Briefing 2008 in Australia, said the following:

With releases we’ll make this year – releases we’ll make with 6.5 next year, Windows Mobile 7, I think we have a pretty interesting roadmap.

No one can tell when, or how it will look like, I personally don’t expect amazing things; probably just improvements to the current OS, and few small innovations, but nothing revolutionary.

This is also a way to buy some time, as Windows Mobile 7 is delayed.

    I think writers on the site disagree. See all the controversy when it was rumored that WM 7 would be delayed. Somebody at HTC had claimed WM 7 devices would be out in 2009, but other people said WM 7 slipping wasn't a big deal because Microsoft hadn't announced anything.

    Also, I'm not sure 6.5 wasn't already known about before Jha's comments. I'd seen rumors about WM 6.2 before that, so I'm wondering if 6.2 and 6.5 are really the same thing.

    If it includes full and seamless integration with Mesh it will also be well worth it.

    if it fixes issues with muliple sync partners and WMP metadata corruption, it will be well worth it
