Windows Mobile 6 Features and Screenshots
Next week, the Windows Mobile Team is set to reveal Windows Mobile 6. This release is set to unleash some pretty cool features for your Windows Mobile device. I’d like to highlight some of the features expected to hit with Windows Mobile 6:
* Email in Rich HTML Format.
* Live links to SharePoint sites.
* Windows Live for Mobile included in Windows Mobile 6.
* New Security features such as remote wiping capablities if your device is lost or stolen.
* Enhanced Windows Vista Syncronization through Windows Mobile Device Center.
* Calendar ribbon gives you your important appoints quickly.
* Contacts with context – call records now attached to individual contact cards in Windows Mobile 6.
* .NET Compact Framework and SQL Server built in to Windows Mobile 6.
You get three flavors of Windows Mobile 6 depending on what kind of device you have. Pocket PC's without phone capability are Windows Mobile 6 "Classic". Smartphones are Windows Mobile 6 "Standard" and Pocket PC Phones are Windows Mobile 6 "Professional". In Windows Mobile 5, phones without touchscreens (Smartphones) were a bit more limited than their high end Pocket PC phone brothers. In Windows Mobile 6, certain changes were made regarding making those limitations less of a problem. Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and PowerPoint Mobile work on phones without touchscreens for instance.
On top of that, Windows Mobile 6 has a new look-and-feel with new icons and sounds giving its users a much more plesant experience. Thanks to the Windows Mobile Team, I’ve got some screenshots to share with you!

Some nice-looking screenshots of Microsoft's next version of Windows Mobile - codenamed 'Crossbow' - have popped up on the web to show the upcoming operating system's swankier graphics.
The images come courtesy of MSMobileNews, which has a selection of shots on offer. Meanwhile, the similarly names MSMobiles has a smaller pic showing Windows Mobile 6.0/Windows Mobile 2007's Vista-like folder icons.
The first report provides some Windows Mobile release information, though the data was first made public in April this year. Specifically, Crossbow is due to ship to OEMs in Q4 to allow them plenty of time to get devices ready for the OS' introduction in late Q1/early Q2 2007. Crossbow is expected to give gadgets more a better telephony experience and to improve its messaging technology.
Come Q4 2007, and Microsoft will release 'Photon', the follow up to Crossbow, to developers. Photon is said to sport a new Windows CE foundation. It's due to be launched to the public Q1/Q2 2008
