The Year of the Mobile!!

There's a Windows Mobile 6 Pro Video 1st Look that shows some of the new things in WM6, which I think should be called WM5.5 instead, because the enhancement are NOT worth a major version upgrade (I do, however, think you should upgrade your mobile device should you be given the chance). Here's the unofficial "What's new in Windows Mobile 6".

The things I like most are (in random order):

• Vista effects: almost everything looks like everything in Vista.
• Enhanced security: you can encrypt the contents of your storage card.
• HTML email support: no more that ugly text.
• Enhanced Office Support: office documents look almost as good as on the pc.
• Windows update!!!!
• Internet sharing!!!!

For those developers out there here's the 'What's New for Developers in Windows Mobile 6' and finally another 'Review of Windows Mobile 6 - Codename Crossbow'.
