OS for mobile devices

Windows Vista isn’t the only OS making its’ debut this year, as Microsoft also revamped its OS for mobile devices and formally introduced Windows Mobile 6 at 3GSM World Congress. Talking the reins from Windows Mobile 5, Windows Mobile 6 isn’t a complete overhaul of the OS; instead, it offers a number of useful enhancements that makes performing tasks easier and outs more powerful tolls into the hands of mobile professionals. We were particularly impressed with the new e-mail search functions, Mobile Office additions, and Windows Live integration, but we think Microsoft could have done a lot more. For e.g. multimedia is still kludged, requiring numerous steps to complete a simple task. Also, some of the enhanced functionally to Outlook and calendaring require that you see Exchange Server 2007. Despite there flaws, the new improvements make Windows Mobile 6 worth the upgrade.
