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

Beeing a VOX owner i`m wondering...
Supported XDA Devices for this new OS. Any guesses?
What are the implications of this? What new software will arise of this orwill this merely be greater support to crippled WM6 devices (smartphones) as opposed to their more network friendly PPC counterparts?
LEMME KNOW!
windows mobile is based on win CE
the current wm6 is based on ce5.2
the upcomming wm7 will be based on ce6 or maybe the new ce6 r2
ce itself could never run on a windows mobile device as it's just the core
The answer is:
* AT&T Tilt (and other HTC Kaiser phones obviously) !!!!!!
* AT&T Blackjack II
How do we know it? Because Microsoft hints at it HERE by saying:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobiledevicemanager/default.mspx
Find the phones
Currently, the following devices will receive a software update that allows them to work with System Center Mobile Device Manager:
* AT&T Tilt
* AT&T Blackjack II
And more devices to come
While having ability to support "System Center Mobile Device Manager" is not the same as "Windows Mobile upgrade in all areas", at Mobius 2007 event Microsoft has announced that next major upgrade (updated?) to Windows Mobile is coming Q1 2008 what is exactly the same (or similar) time that this one mentioned by Microsoft HERE as a release date of devices and upgrades with support for this device manager.
In other words: Microsoft together with new Windows Mobile 6 with support for device manager server product, will roll out new improvements and features also in area of user interface! The possible version name for this upgrade will be Windows Mobile 6.1 or Windows Mobile 6 Second Edition but for sure it is not yet Windows Mobile 7 (code name "Photon") because it looks like Photon has been postponed till 2009 as commercial release date (it may go to manufacturers by the end of 2008).

If Microsoft is using the Kaiser for their internal WM6 development, we can always hope that they have some constructive critisism to pass back to HTC regarding the current inefficient device drivers driving the MSM 7200 hardware.

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?
