The Windows Mobile 6 Name Game
Posted by Chris Leckness on 02/7/07 in Pocket PC Phones, PocketPC, Smart Phones
Microsoft will be announcing Windows Mobile 6 at the 3GSM conference in Barcelona next week. The info you got last week is true, the naming scheme is different. This is the way it will lay out.
- Windows Mobile 5.0 = Windows Mobile 6
- Windows Mobile 5.0 for Smartphone = Windows Mobile 6 Standard
- Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC Phone Edition = Windows Mobile 6 Professional
- Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC = Windows Mobile 6 Classic
I am not too excited about these changes, but the future is moving towards convergence and I am sure this will help in the future. We will hold up posting any of the quotes from Microsoft about this naming change until it’s announced officially next week.
