Windows Mobile Turns 6.0
Is WM6 really an upgrade?
Right now the details on Windows Mobile 6 won't be fully revealed until a few days from now so my opinion here is only as good as the information I've uncovered. so far.
I can't help but feel that this will only be an incremental upgrade and should have been dubbed, Windows Mobile 5SE. It sure does not sound like a full upgrade version and WM5 has only been out for a somewhat short time now.
More of a marketing ploy by renaming the 3 versions than a real upgrade. After reviewing an article on CNET http://crave.cnet.com/8301-1_105-9685249-1.ht ml?tag=cnetfd.mt

You are 100% correct. This is not a full version upgrade, it is mostly an "under the hood" update to WM5 with some eye candy. Why they chose to call it WM6, I am not sure, probably for marketing reasons. The next Windows Mobile will be call photon, it will be a true full version update not just an upgrade with some glitter and bug fixes.

I'm just curious what the source is for your information. You have some details I've not heard before and I love to keep up with this technology.
