Windows Mobile 6 from around the 'Net.

Next week we should learn a lot more about Microsoft's update to Windows Mobile named Windows Mobile 6 (codenamed Crossbow). From the info I have read it looks like Windows Mobile 6.0 is a "refresh" to Windows Mobile 5.0 sporting a new look with some needed new features and bug fixes. It's not a complete code redesign, that should be out next year with "Photon".

For those of you who have been under a rock, Microsoft's Windows Mobile platform has changed names.

Windows Mobile 6 "Professional" - Windows Mobile Pocket PC
Windows Mobile 6 "Standard" - Windows Mobile Smartphone
Windows Mobile 6 "Classic" - Pocket PC w/o phone features
