The Windows Phones
Windows Mobile 6.5, as such, has nothing of a revolution. This is actually a gentle evolution of versions 6.0 and 6.1, but with welcome improvements obviously. The major changes are planned for version 7.0, but it remains largely mysterious even today, when it should arrive in late 2010.
On October 6, the first day of a meeting devoted to Microsoft's digital entertainment and communications, Microsoft will present its new system and several services that will accompany him to compose the "Windows Phones.
The Marketplace and MyPhone
The first of these services, and most important, is the Marketplace, a store of applications that centralize all software written for Windows Mobile. No mystery here, the mimicry is very important about this type of service since the huge success of Apple's App Store. It should be noted however that the Marketplace will also work on phones with Windows Mobile 6.0 and 6.1.
The other service is called My Phone and will be in charge of synchronizing the data. My Phone will change with each release, but it will start mostly through contact with an online synchronization via the GSM network or WiFi. All information can then be accessed online and amended if necessary. In case of problems and deletion of contacts, and can repatriate them from service.
Other news to report, we found a new version of Office Tools Mobile version, and an evolution of Internet Explorer that includes the particular version of Flash Lite from Adobe.
Microsoft aims to use its new system to form a coherent universe, that is to say what is most lacking in the current platform. A guidance and a greater willingness to leave the professional world to open up to new audiences. Microsoft is in effect up to developers and would like to see the arrival of multimedia applications, games, etc..
We already know what will be the partner of Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5, the company announced with much. In Europe, for example, we have Orange, T-Mobile International AG and Vodafone for telephony operators. As for manufacturers, we find Acer, HTC, LG Electronics, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and Toshiba Corporation, both the partners of the usual Windows Mobile world.
