First look at Windows Mobile 6.1
Share:
As it was with the version 6, compared to 5, the 6.1 is better optimized, which results in overall higher performance and faster loading of menus, with the hardware being unchanged. An improvement that will concern the Internet fans is the new Zoom feature in the Internet Explorer. As the browser of other phones, it zooms out and fits the whole page on the screen, to select the area you view, avoiding the scrolling. However, everything else about the browser is the same, which is definitely not the best on the market. Probably inspired by iPhone, the developers now offer “SMS Chat View Mode”. This makes it easier to have a conversation using text messages, since you can see the whole history, as in an instant messenger. The mobile variant of Office is now updated to open Office 2007 files (.docx, .xlsx) and features one new application: One Note, which is used for voice recording, drawing, etc. Other changes are just minor.

FlashLite 3 will have native support for flash video isn't available for Windows Mobile yet, unforunately. Nothing to do with Microsoft, though. Ask Adobe.

What are you talking about?!? It's right herehttp://www.adobe.com/devnet/de
vices/pocket_pc.html ... that's been out for maybe two years or so...and of course it's not native, does Windows support Flash right out of the box? No, because if they did they'd have to have some sort of distribution agreement with Adobe AND they'd have to be prepared to support it to an extent even if all they have to do is refer people to Adobe. The additional expense would be rather large not to mention unnecessary considering Flash is free and it allows people to install it only if they need it.

There is a new browser coming out called SkyFire. This browser will be able to run flash, java, and other multimedia formats. This browser will be availible for WM first then to other OS.

I wonder if you will be able to upgrade 6.0 to 6.1 by going to your wireless store free of charge or for a minimum fee??
