"next version of Windows Mobile"

Is there even a plan for this? It seems like Microsoft clearly lost this one and doesn't even care anymore.

Yes, there are big plans for Windows Mobile 7.

No, I will not tell you about them.

Microsoft is a big beast to move, but once it gains momentum you should watch out. It's certainly not going to be tomorrow, but Windows Mobile will be competitive with iPhone eventually.

Just out of curiosity, are you referring to the big migration to CoreCLR?

Which part of "I will not tell you" isn't clear? :-)

Windows Mobile 6.5 is due out Oct 6th, and "will deliver new customer experiences through an improved, easy-to-use user interface, better browsing capabilities and access to valuable services, including Windows Marketplace for Mobile and Microsoft My Phone"

I was referring to Windows Mobile 7 though

Really? Who won then?

Last times I checked, Windows Mobile is the prevalent operating system on phones.

Windows Mobile is the prevalent operating system on phones

If you work for Microsoft, you may find comfort in that fact, but for everyone else out there, I wouldn't bet on Windows Mobile dominance based on what's happening with the iPhone (followed long-term by Android).

Kind of like GM selling SUVs until last year...

Which is several years behind Android and iPhone OS in terms of features, with no new release announced.

Let me guess, it includes WinFS too!

But this doesn't imply that Windows "lost", does it?
