I need a little help understanding IE Mobile (and PIE) versions - and what they mean.
I've searched and browsed and read, but I'm still confused, so I figured I'd ask the largest group of WM experts I know of (perhaps should have started here?).
Anyway...
I know that PIE changed to IEM with WM 6 release.
And I know that prior to 6.1 (maybe 6.5) there was no "Internet Explorer Mobile 6".
However, I keep seeing user agents reporting IEM 7.11, 8.12 and the like - versions which don't exist, and certainly didn't exist pre-IEM 6 release.
So it seems there is a naming mess with PIE and IEM, and IEM 6 isn't JUST IEM 6 but IEM6 v7.11 or IEM6 v8.12 - or what have you.
I've seen WM6.1 ROMs cooked on here with IEM 7.11 - which is impossible if the 7.11 is the same versioning line as the 6 in IEM 6 - so - well that's about it - can anyone explain IEM 6 versions to me?
I know of:
PIE 1.0 (original release PIE)
PIE 1.1 (Second release, and the last PIE to receive version number)
Many undocumented PIE versions up to the release of WM 6 (when they started talking about IEM 6 and changed the name of PIE to IEM) <- maybe this happened at WM 5.0 release??
Then an actual versioned release of IEM in IEM 6 with WM 6.5 release.
Maybe with 6.1 if that Treo 800 actually got IEM 6.
ANY help GREATLY appreciated - even questions about with I'm talking about would probably be helpful.
Really, no replies?
I know it's confusing, and MS has nerfed the naming over the years, but someone must have made some sense of it right?
K, here's a non MS question too - maybe some random archaic wireless question will kick start the memory banks?
Anyone know what TSS/2.5 is wrt a browser version?
My best guess is it's Teleca Software Solutions, and a version 2.5 browser they cranked out at some point, but i can't find anything definitive on it.

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
Hi all - I have an unlocked Treo 750 which is running WM 6. Am loving the device so far - runs circles around my old BB Curve except for one BIG gripe...
Given that MS and Palm are marketing the handset as a "business handset", its pretty darn surprising to me that there is no "official" version of BBC (Blackberry Connect) on it....
Am I missing something out or is there an "unofficial" or cracked/ hacked version that will allow me to send/ receive emails via BBC on this device? If there is nothing available yet, any timelines re: when we can expect a BBC update for the Treo 750s on WM 6?
Also if I downgrade to WM 5, which versions of BBC have proven to run smoothly on it?
Thanks very much in advance for helping me out folks - much appreciated!
Is there anyway to pull IE from WM6.1 standard (smartphone) to run on a WM6 or WM5 standard device? Similar to how ppl have pulled office 6.1 to run on wm5?
Thanks
So you are asking for the smartphone version for your professional device, correct?
No. I have a WM 6 standard device.
WM 6.1 standard is already out, and it has a newer version of IE mobile.
Is it possible to get the IE from WM 6.1 standard to run on WM 6 standard (or even WM 5 standard/smartphone).
We're all in standard/smartphone version right now.
I assume something similar can be done for the pro/touch screen devices as well, but I'm not asking about that.
Thanks
PS. I'm well aware that other browsers exist, such as opera. I'm specifically curious about getting the latest IE on older devices, similar to how we can run new mobile office apps on older devices.
Hi,
I have found this cab one : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H67GUDE0

Yep seems like MS will be launching another update before 7.0 is released
for more info follow this link
Thanks for sharing
But nothing about a possible release date yet, I don´t think we will see 6.5 before may or june 09 (hope i´m wrong)
Maybe they will rename WM 6.1 AKU 1.5(6).x to WM 6.5 like they did with WM6 AKU1 (which became WM6.1) i talk for the professional version not the standart one
So far in aku 1.4/5 they have added the new Internet Explorer Mobile, Flash Lite 3.1 (up to 3.5) finger scrolling builtin the OS, and more minor changes.
In near future we must expect zune services integration and silverlight mobile - with these added we will have Windows Mobile 6.5
Sounds like good news to me!
The odds of me getting a WM7 upgrade for my Polaris is as close to zero as it gets. But an upgrade to WM6.5 is very much possible indeed. That means more fun and a better phone.
Keep your fingers crossed!
Hi,
does anyone know when will be released new version 2.0 of Skyfire for Windows mobile ? I don't know why they didn't release new version also for Windows mobile or Symbian . I miss in version 1.5, TABS, touch FLASH PLAYER for playing video and faster page rendering [ faster rendering of "gray squares" ] and all this things have version for Android .
Thanks.
I need a wm version too. I've seen the video demonstration on an android device -> waaaouuuu
any date for the wm version ?
I just wanted a browser with flash support for use on my HTC S710 WM 6 S. ..
as far as i'm aware, they stopped development for winmo right now. they were supposed to have skyfire for blackberry a year ago and they stopped the development for that too. all focus is on android atm
android = teh sux lol.. but if you think about it winphone7's are coming out soon-ish. so why dev for 6.5 when its going to be outdated sooner rather than later. im kind of worried that windowsphone7 doesnt have any backwards compatability with 6.5 but then again it might not matter.
R.I.P.
Support for WM (and Nokia) pulled without (much) notice. Skyfire for Windows Mobile is dead. Only currently-supported platforms are iOS and Android. Some quote I found from Googling says they couldn't figure out a way to successfully monetize the WM user base so we're cut out. Bastards.
