Microsoft Launches Windows Mobile 6.5 next Month

Microsoft announced that all arrangement has been concluded for the launch of its latest version for software for mobile phones, Windows Mobile 6.5. The launch will take place at the Tech Ed 2009 event which will take place at Los Angeles and runs from May 11 through May 15.
The new mobile platform was first announced at the Mobile World Congress event that took place this past February in Spain. According to Microsoft, the new Windows Mobile 6.5 home screen keeps people up-to-date on important information by providing a dashboard-like experience to items such as new e-mails, texts, missed calls and calendar appointments. It also includes an improved touch-screen interface, making it easy to take action with a finger, and an updated version of the latest Internet Explorer Mobile browser, which in a third-party research study sponsored by Microsoft supported execution of up to 48 percent more assigned tasks than the other browsers and phones studied.
From this first touch on, it looks like Microsoft is back in the game. They don’t have the upper hand yet, but they are clearly waking up. We will see what happens and how deep these changes really are once it gets released.
