The next generation of Microsoft Windows Mobile OS - Version 6.5 after a long distance of rumors,finally been unveiled by Microsoft at the Mobile World Congress 2009 which exhibiting at the Barcelona during 16 to 19 February.
"Everything is now finger friendly,"said Scott Rockfeld, group product manager for Windows Mobile.He claimed that these are the words which most suitable to describe to the new windows mobile os,WM6.5.That means it is not surprised at the user interface of WM6.5 had been totally changed into a "stylus-free" interface which seem like iPhone.Most item and icon on the WM6.5 are become large enough to be clicked with a finger on a touch screen rather than selected with a stylus or by pushing buttons to navigate through menus which always needed to do on the previous version.
Otherwise,there are some big change that Microsoft done in WM6.5 are,the start button, rather than launching a menu in a list or a row of icons, opens up a new honeycomb design. Microsoft has also developed a new way to efficiently use the home screen when it's locked.(actually just seem like iPhone that one,haha^^)The new version of Internet Explorer Mobile had been revealed in WM6.5 too.It was coming a big change than the previous version.Indeed,IE Mobile also based on the aim of WM6.5-"finger friendly".
"Touching a magnifying glass icon opens a bar on one side of the screen for zooming in or out of on an area of the Web page. Touching and dragging moves the page around the screen, with a small square at the bottom depicting where the current view is within the larger page."
That can be simply knew IE Mobile will make a great efficiently on using too.
Apparently,the user interface of new version Windows Mobile,WM6.5,already has a potential to put Microsoft in closer competition with devices like iPhone,Palm Pre and also the Google G1 too.Last but not least,Microsoft also announced WM6.5 will appear in phones early in the second half of the year.Let's us giving a great applause to Microsoft,it was done a good work this time,announced a 6.5version and being perpared for the WM7.
