News: Windows Mobile 6.1 Features Carousel Interface, Launches Feb. 2008

In an article on twomobile.com, author Michael Kwan discusses the latest scheduled

update to Windows Mobile. He said in part:

"Most Microsoft-powered smartphones being released today are powered by some form of Windows Mobile 6, but it seems like the popular mobile operating system is due for another update. It's not exactly Windows Mobile 7, but the upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 will bring about a whole new user interface similar to the one found on the Vodafone Treo 500v."

It's a good sign that Microsoft wants to continue improving Windows Mobile soon after their release of WM 6.

Review: HTC Touch

"HTC's latest Windows Mobile 6 Professional device is called the 'Touch' after its innovative 'TouchFLO' interface. In terms of aesthetics, HTC really nailed this one. With the possible exception of the LG Prada, the Touch is the best looking smartphone on the market. A curved black, rubberized body and chrome accents are reminiscent of HTC's S710, but the Touch has an elegance all its own. I also appreciated HTC's attention to detail in the packaging, which matches the elegance of the device."
