The video starts off like an unassuming promotion for Windows' Live Mesh services. As cool as the prospect of a completely "connected life" is, the real gem in this video is a brief glimpse of the next-generation Windows Mobile. Fast forward to about 00:32 (32 seconds) to get a sneak peak at the next major revamping [...]

Microsoft loves to confuse the hell out of mobile enthusiasts with their multitude of mobile services. If it isn't Windows Live, it's Live Search, or it could be non-application Live Search web search. Windows Live is the brand name under which Microsoft is developing its web services and application. A unified "Live" web service platform [...]

Some people just don't like having their handset smeared on the side of their face. And, speakerphone is the most convenient way to go truly hands-free with your phone calls without having a Bluetooth headset stuck to your ear. So, for all you out-loud conversation lovers, there's a piece of software for your Windows Mobile [...]

Bet you didn't realize that your crash-prone Windows Mobile smartphone is secure enough to handle government and military duty, did you? Well, actually, the Windows Mobile platform is quite stable and secure - the main reason that WinMo gets such a bad rap from a stability standpoint is because of all those third-party applications that [...]

Place-shifting TV programs never had it so good. Sling has announced that they'll be releasing an updated version of their SlingPlayer for Windows Mobile devices this Spring. WinMo fans rocking a SlingBox at home and SlingPlayer Mobile on their handset can look forward to optimization for newer Windows Mobile devices (both touchscreen and non-touchscreen). Sling will [...]

We don’t see many handsets coming out with native price-tags in Rubles, but here’s a little gem from RoverPC. The Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional-powered RoverPC P6 is fairly slim (15.1 mm, to be exact), pretty slick, and definitely likable. It’s not the greatest WinMo offering, but it ain’t that bad, either. As the Professional moniker suggests, the RoverPC P6 rocks a 2.4-inch touchscreen. This little guy only sports a tri-band GSM (900/1800/1900Mhz) radio, which will keep it from hitting the US-mainstream. But, if you like the sound of a 2 megapixel camera (with video recording), Bluetooth 1.2, miniUSB, microSD card slot, 128MB ROM/64MB RAM, and Windows Mobile 6.0 - all powered by a Samsung 2442B CPU clocked at 300Mhz - then grab the RoverPC P6 for 7990 Rubles ($323) at your nearest Russian mobile retailer.

Not that we were all that excited for Vodafone to launch their Windows Mobile slider from HTC ( HTC Kii ?), but we thought a few of you out there might want to know that the Vodafone 920 has been pulled from Vodafone’s lineup. Vodafone gave no reason for killing the Vodafone 920, but we’re figuring it might have something to do with certification tests or maybe some conflicting product offerings. Whatever the reason, we hope you weren’t planning on grabbing a Vodafone 920 for yourself, you’ll just have to make do with another HTC-based Windows Mobile device. Take a look at the T-Mobile Shadow, it’s fairly similar to the Vodafone 920 - all may not be lost (of course, the two are offered in different markets, so we’ll leave the importing up tot you). Come to think of it, Vodafone may have done you a favor, with all those incredible WinMo offerings (especially from HTC) on the market, you’d do better with less choices.

If contracts and carrier-branding just aren’t your cup of tea, Palm’s got the perfect Treo 750 for you - an unlocked, un-branded version. That’s right, following on Palm’s hours-old launch of the Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade for AT&T-branded Treo 750 users, the struggling handset manufacturer has announced that they’ll be selling the unlocked Palm Treo 750 with Windows Mobile 6.0 pre-installed for $549. Previously only available through AT&T, the unlocked Palm Treo 750 is basically the same handset that you will be getting from AT&T, sans the carrier’s logo and any AT&T-specific firmware tweaks. And, as a world phone, the Palm Treo 750 will be able to get its 3G-on in the US and Europe. So, if you’ve got the need, or are willing, to trade worldwide 3G productivity for some bulk and oddly-sized display, head on over to your Palm Store (we’ve only seen one retail store, ever) or hit the online store for your own unlocked Palm Treo 750.

We finally have a face to put on the update to the Windows Mobile 6.0 OS , dubbed 6.1. That same Motorola Q9 that hinted at AT&T’s plan to bring WiFi to the Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard masses has revealed a couple delicious morsels of information on Windows Mobile 6.1. The WM6.1 homescreen (that you see above) doesn’t seem all that radically different from the WM6 interface, but that’s to be expected with an evolutionary “0.1″ upgrade. What is different is the revised homescreen that gives quick-panning access to recent activity (pictured is the “Missed Call” list) and the addition of threaded SMS text messages and cut-and-paste functionality on the Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard OS. Which means that hacking your WinMo device to get threaded SMS text messages will be a thing of the past. Here’s the full run-down of additions that you can expect to see in the WinMo6.1 update (from BGR):

• Copy / Paste
• Domain Enroll in Settings (Enrolling in a domain will connect your device with company resources.)
• New home screen (pan left and right to check out missed calls, notifications like email, sms, etc.)
• Change Master Security Code
• Added text input settings
• Recent Programs when pressing Start menu
• Threaded SMS
• When you compose an email, or SMS, and start typing the name of the contact in the “To:” field, the contact names finally pop up like Windows Mobile Professional!
• Internet Explorer now lets you define a homepage, and also zoom in and out using a nice and clean interface

Of course, carriers and manufacturers will have the final say on whether or not your particular Windows Mobile 6.0 device will be getting the 6.1 update. So, we can only hope that most of them see fit to bring the update to their smartphone fleet. The new look of the UI is a real refreshing update to the aging WinMo platform, and we can’t wait to start using it on our WM devices. Bring on the WM6.1 update!
