Yeah, yeah, we're totally expecting "At least it's not Windows Mobile 6.5" dominating the comments, but what we have here is Windows 3.1 running on a Nokia N95. We've got Polish site FrazPC to thank for it (translated page), and Engadget Mobile for kicking it along. Now if it'll run Kings Quest 2, I'm all over it.

Microsoft is really coming through with the upgrades this week. First with Live Mesh Mobile (OK, less of an upgrade and more
Microsoft-based Channel 10 has all the deets on the relaunch of Windows Live, which starts now. Of interest: SkyDrive online storage has been bumped to 25 gigs, web pages overall have a much cleaner and better interface, and the cool yet underused Windows Live Homepage now does all sorts of fancy aggregation that might interest you (above: a nice explanation of how that works). Of...
Smartphone France has scored images of what appear to be legitimate screenshots of Windows Mobile 6.5. What we're looking at here appears to be a new, sliding-panels-inspired today screen and also a pretty cool and interesting hexagon/beehive shaped shortcut screen. It's a nice change from your standard square look, though we wonder how a 5-way dpad would handle that. The look, at...
We mentioned Motorola's relatively bad news yesterday regarding their Windows Mobile plans -- namely that they're outsourcing development of WinMo. Check this little tidbit, though. PCMag took a listen to their call on the subject during their conference call and the new CEO Sanjay Jha dropped a mention of, ahem, Windows Mobile 6.5: “Windows Mobile 6 has not delivered the...
After this week's shocking revelation that Windows Mobile 7 has been delayed to the back half of 2009, and all the hoopla surrounding Android, we're looking for some positive OS news wherever we can. So here goes. Jason Langridge notes in his MSDN blog that Windows Mobile 6.1 has been blessed with Common Criteria Certification. And he wisely points us to Wikipedia so we can find...
If you've ever accidentally tried to open a file you meant to install on your Windows Mobile device form your desktop, you have probably figured out that the ".cab" file extension isn't just a way to know it goes on a mobile device. It's actually a file archive, like a Zip file: What's neat about that little factoid is that you can "unzip" that cab file on your desktop with WinZip and...
I smell a horse race, folks, and it's gonna be a good one. Yahoo Go may finally be available on a few WM devices, but Live Search for Windows Mobile (Go, now, and get it: http://wls.live.com on your device) is available on all of them. It looks to be a worthy upgrade, adding movie times to its standard stable of results. Also new and cool: the GPS integration now automatically...
Microsoft has opened up a fancy new training site for Windows Mobile. It's intended for folks who are selling or supporting Windows Mobile devices, but it looks to be a pretty good all-around resource too. It's a pity that it's stuck behind a Passport login, though, because it might otherwise be a nice place to direct folks who are generally interested in WM. Ah well, you're sending...
