We all know Microsoft’s Windows Mobile platform, if not from using it, at least from what we’ve heard about it. And among the things that we’ve heard is the fact that the currently available versions of the operating system, namely WinMo 6.1 or previous versions, do not manage to provide all the latest features that a smartphone user would like to benefit from.
To be more precise, most of the critics of the platform reckon that it is rather old, and that the software giant should
consider making some radical changes to the Windows Mobile OS, so that it proves more competitive than it is at the moment, while also being able to enhance the user experience to new levels.
The next step from Microsoft for the development of its mobile OS will come to users under the form of Windows Mobile 6.5. The new version, due for the second half of the ongoing year, is reported to come around with a few of the long expected features, such as touch optimizations, yet it is uncertain whether the upgraded WM will indeed be able to turn the odds in its favor, and outpace other feature full platforms like iPhone OS, Android OS, and WebOS.
Many have suggested that the Redmond company should approach the development of its mobile operating system in a different manner and, while up until now no major changes have been spotted with WinMo, it seems that the software giant has plans to leverage the platform to new heights, if not with the 6.5 version, with the upcoming Windows Mobile 7 for sure.
