Here's another look at the upcoming version of Office Mobile. (Previous stories here and here.) Threaded e-mails, fun with spreadsheets, basically a great 2 minutes of Windows Mobile productivity. Enjoy.
Here's a (sideways) look at Windows Mobile 6.5 on an HTC Vox, apparently. Sure enough, still looks like the Windows Mobile 6.5 we saw running on a Motorola Q9h, and saw previewed some time ago.Via Pocketnow
We ran across this video of Windows Mobile 6.5 Standard running on a Motorola Q9h and it leaves us with more questions than answers. First, can you shoot a video any more out of focus? The 2:41 minute long video first posted on Everything Q does show the Moto Q running Windows Mobile 6.5 by showing the "About" screen and we agree with wmpoweruser in that Windows Mobile Standard 6.5...
The upcoming Samsung Omnia II is tossing another nugget onto the Windows Mobile 6.5 rumor pile. Microsoft Austria makes it known (in German) that the Omnia II will be available on the Austrian A1 carrier at the end of September.So does that mean Windows Mobile 6.5 will be released globally at the end of September? It's certainly within the Windows that we've been expecting. Stay tuned....
The HTC Snap can't claim to be the first Windows Mobile Standard phone to announce it'll get the Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade — that honor goes to the Samsung Jack. But an upgrade is an upgrade is an upgrade, and if the above shot from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group [via wmpoweruser] is any indication, the CDMA version of the HTC Snap also may be rocking 6.5 in the near future. (You...
Here's a look at the Samsung B7610 Louvre, which we first got wind of a couple months ago. The heavily-skinned Windows Mobile slider seems to be gaining steam and may be available next month in Europe.The specs:Quad-band EDGE, HSDPA (the 7.2Mbps)aGPS3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen at 480x8005MP camera (no flash)FM radio1GB ROMBluetooth 2.0WiFi b/gMicroSDAccelerometer1500mAh batteryWindows...
It should come to you as no surprise Windows Mobile 6.5 will work on non-touchscreen phones. We put that concern to rest more than a month ago. And now, thanks to the recently released Windows Mobile 6.5 Developers Toolkit (don't you dare think about calling it an SDK), we get a look at what WM6.5 Standard will look like. And the answer is: A whole lot like Windows Mobile 6.1. Our...
OK, OK. Just about everybody — and we, admittedly, were one of the first — screamed "The Windows Mobile 6.5 SDK is out!" And now the Windows Mobile team is gently rapping our knuckles over the improper use of the acronym. And so, they're educating us on the difference between an SDK (Software Development Kit), DTK (Developer Toolkit) and DRK (Developer Resource Kit). And those are all...
In another sure sign that we're marching steadily toward the launch of Windows Mobile 6.5, Microsoft has released the Software Developer Tool Kit, also known as an SDK. From Microsoft's overview:The Windows Mobile 6.5 Developer Tool Kit adds documentation, sample code, header and library files, emulator images and tools to Visual Studio that let you build applications for Windows Mobile...
Windows Mobile is alive and well at the Computex Show on Taipei. In fact, it's Windows Mobile 6.5 that's making a strong appearance.After the break, a flurry of phones (brought to us by ePrice.com with an assist from Pocket PC Thoughts) from the likes of GSmart, Mio, Acer, Garmin-Asus and Mobinnova. You might not find them available in the states anytime soon, but that's not stopping...
From the Computex tech show on Tapei comes this video of the Acer L1 running Windows Mobile 6.5. The L1 is a low-end slab with a vertical slider concealing a 12-key keypad. Via wmpoweruserUpdate: More deets from PocketPC Thoughts. The L1 sports a 2.8-inch, 240-by-400.
We're getting word from some insiders that HTC will be launching the Tachi (aka Twin) in China exclusively on the Dopod network come July (see right).The VGA (480 x 640) device will launch with WM6.5, making it one fo the first devices in the world to (legally) launch with the new OS. This is evidently a change from the original plan to launch with WM6.1. It will also have dual CDMA...
OK, we're starting to get the feeling that work on Windows Mobile 7 may be a little farther along than we — OK, at least some of us — believed. What we have here, again from UX Evangelist, is a "Release to Testers" roadmap reportedly from a presentation less than two weeks old. Also interesting but not too surprising is that Live Search, Windows Live, My Phone and the Windows...
Here's another video out of Microsoft's Tech-Ed conference in Los Angeles. It's just a 12-minute run-through of Windows Mobile 6.5. We see the lock screen, today screen, home screen, Office and My Phone. Nothing you haven't already seen before, just fresher. And some of the "finger-friendly" menus are still the same ol' thing, just a little bigger. (And can we get rid of radio buttons...
We're still expecting an official Facebook application come the launch of Windows Marketplace for Mobile, but we've been using the version, er, purloined from a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM for a while now. It's good stuff.Noir over at PPCGeeks points out that there's a new version available (0.16 - up from the 0.14 I was using) that for whatever reason is definitely a little more snappy....
There's been some discussion about Windows Mobile 6.5 and non-touchscreen phones, namely that everything we've seen has been on touchscreen devices. And as of right now, the only phones we know are getting an upgrade to 6.5 are Professional devices like the HTC Touch Pro 2 and Diamond 2. That's not to say that Standard phones won't launch with 6.5 already on board or get upgraded – we...
A couple of days ago we mentioned that the Windows Marketplace for Mobile made a brief appearance to at least one user of an early Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM. Over the weekend, the Marketplace opened up to developers and laid out guidelines for submitting apps.We've already talked to devs about Marketplace and gotten a look at the money side of things. Devs keep 70 percent of sales, it'll...
This shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone, given that Windows Mobile 6.5 is built from the same blocks as its predecessors, but Microsoft's Loke Uei confirms that the upcoming operating system won't support any more memory than what it already does.SD cards still top out at 16 gigabytes, he said on the Mobility Today podcast. But, jeez, folks, just how much pr0n movies and...
We've known about the upcoming Windows Marketplace for Mobile for quite some time now and that it'll only be for WM6.5 users (boo). But up till today when you launched the store app in your janked WM6.5 ROM, nothing happened or you got a "coming soon." Well at least according to MrHawaii at ppcgeeks, he was finally able to access the store today and even downloaded Pandora. He says:...
Here's a video walkthrough of Tellme, the uber-Voice Command feature we expect to play a prominent role in Windows Mobile 6.5. Brought you you by Techflash, it'sbeing shown on a Samsung Omnia and, sure enough, you can dictate text messages. Very cool. We're definitely looking forward to this.
