I posted this on Pocketnow, but would love to hear some other opinions.

We’ve all been hearing rumors about Windows Mobile 7. You’ve probably seen the leaked screenshots, and I go over some of them here. We don’t really know if those represent the Standard/Smartphone version or the Professional/Pocket PC version of the operating system, or if there are even going to be multiple versions of Windows Mobile 7. Most of the screen shots indicate a move towards the Windows Mobile Standard style interface. You can even see that one of these mockups for a home screen has already made it into Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard Edition.
So now that we’ve seen Windows Mobile 6.1, what kind of features are on your wish list for Windows Mobile 7? What do you really want to see?

Hey
Does anyone have any information, including pictures if possible, of the new windows mobile OS, Windows CE 6.0?
On some reviews it states that you can find out about it at www.microsoft.com/windowsce but it looks like Microsoft have rearranged their sites... this just leads to the CE homepage, talks about 5.0 but no other.
I know it's not out yet... apart from the VS Dev tools, but was just wanting to see an insight before its eventual release.
Cheers!
I am very interested in seeing this too. I have seen many threads about creating custom ROMs. I would hope that if this OS has all MS promises, that someone would create ROMs for the phones in this forum based on the new kernal, if possible. Licensing issues aside...
Is this "hot" OS will be based on Real time system?? I too want to know more about it.

If anyone knows where I can get/buy this beta release, that would be great
The site gives a link at the bottom for more info... but that redirects you, and I can't find any info there... :-(
You know that Windows CE and Windows Mobile are Microsoft's names for two different products now, right?
Phones don't and will not run Windows CE.
Also, I read that Microsoft is seriously behind the competition with development of a real-time OS, such as would be suitable for handsets that use a single chip for radio and a main processor. Like, it's 18 months away, at best.
Meanwhile, SE and Nokia already have single-chip phones on the market, running a real-time version of Symbian.

Are they? I was reading a review from Microsoft's own site saying that Windows CE 5.0 is also known as Windows Mobile 2005; and that the next version (it gave a codename but I can't remember it) will be Windows CE 6.0. ???
CE is the core
which mw is based on
so it's not the same
but they are connected to be sure
Can’t believe we missed this! The brand new Motorola Q9 with Wi-Fi we just got? Yeah, that has Windows Mobile 6.1 on it! We’re getting the video up soon, but for now, check out our full Windows Mobile 6.1 gallery, and the new things we found!

Looks good, but I'd say this is just a modification done by the operator/manufacturer, like they did with the Treo 500v.

Windows Mobile Standard (so no touchscreen )
AKA Windows Mobile Smartphone Edition
Hi Guys,
This is just a heads up. According to msmobiles, windows mobile 6.5 is out there.
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/7803.html
World Exclusive: Windows Mobile 6.5 in pictures ...
While the arrival of Windows Mobile 6.5 for the year 2009 was announced here and there, then confirmed by Steve Balmer himself at the PDC 2008, Smartphone France is very pleased to present exclusive World 2 first screenshots of what should be Windows Mobile 6.5.
If for the moment there is no real information on the new version of Windows Mobile, what is happening is that Microsoft has finally decided to redesign the interface of the aging systems to try to catch up with his lags behind its competitors.
At visual we can see that Windows Mobile 6.5 is very close to what should be Windows Mobile 7. Does it mean that Microsoft has decided to completely revise their copy as regards WM7 and we propose intermediate version which should be initially WM7? In all what whatever happens in a case closely monitor ... although it will take many months before seeing a new version of Windows Mobile on the market.
MOD Edit: Revised thread title to avoid confusion.
Information about the OS has been released, the OS has not.
Just wondering if anyone had heard if they were going to release windows mobile 6.5 for smartphone not just for ppc
thanks
6.5
I want to know too
Seems that it will be for SP too:

"Windows Mobile 6.5, as it is called, still comes in two distinct flavors: one for touchscreen equipped devices (Professional edition), and one for those with regular displays (Standard edition)."

Ok. I have been a Windows Mobile user since the original Cassiopeia (1998). I currently have the fuze and my wife has an iPhone. The iphone has a lot of cool apps that I would like to see on the Windows Mobile platform. However, i cannot find anything that come even close. I don't know if I am not looking well enough.
Some Apps:
Sportacular, iSports, MLB at bat on iPhone - For windows mobile we have GetSportz which is pretty rudimentary.
eBay on iphone - all we have for Windows mobile is the formatted web page?
iFareFinder, Flight tracker on iPhone - ? Windows mobile.
I am not an iPhone fanboy. I need Windows mobile, but where are all the cool apps?
I go to Fuze Mobility. they have cool links there
Looky here...
