Microsoft held a closed demonstration of the next version of Windows Mobile 6 at the annual Mobius 2007 conference. The company showed an update of the current platform, not an upgrade (Windows Mobile 7 – Photon). It is running on the current hardware. However many have the impression the new version has nothing revolutionary, most features are somewhat belated.

The manufacturers will have WM 6 update in 1Q 2008. The company hasn’t provided any details on the new opportunities. Probably we’ll hear about it at CES 2008 in January.
