Windows Mobile 6.5 phones coming October 6
Microsoft is also planning to launch its My Phone (”Skybox”) service for storing and accessing mobile-phone information
Microsoft officials said that the first Windows Mobile 6.5 phones would be available on October 6. As expected, Microsoft is also planning to launch its My Phone (”Skybox”) service for storing and accessing mobile-phone information and the new Windows Marketplace for Mobile online app store on the same day, as well.
A redesigned version of IE 6, built-in support for Adobe FlashLite and Microsoft Office Mobile are also slated to be available as part of the
Win Mobile 6.5 release.
Starting with Windows Mobile 6.5, Microsoft is launching a concerted effort go after the consumer audience more than just the business one and is recruiting more consumer-app developers to build gaming, music and other consumer-oriented apps for the platform.
But that doesn’t mean all Windows Phones running Win Mobile 6.5 are going that route, said Paul Bryan, Senior Director of Business Experience Product Management on the Windows Mobile team.
