Windows Mobile 5 Coming Soon
Permalink | Comment (0)
It appears that Microsoft has finally wised-up and will stop using year numbers in their product names. So, instead of Windows Mobile 2005, we’re gonna get Windows Mobile 5. Thank goodness!
WM5 will upgrade the default applications like Word Mobile (the artist formally know as Pocket Word) and Excel, support hard drives, enable syncing over Bluetooth, support USB 2.0 and — best of all — keep your data persistent when the battery dies. I’ve put together a bunch of links related to WM5.
- Dave’s PDA reviews of all the new features — a good round up.
- Here’s a video of Bill Gates introducing it (look for the video entitled Bill Gates Keynote from the Microsoft Mobile & Embedded Developers Conference in Las Vegas)
- A Microsoft presentation on WM5.
- Engadget’s take on it
- And a post saying that Dell will offer an upgrade for Axim x50 owners. Giddy up!
