"Since we announced Windows Mobile 6 at 3GSM the most common question I get from customers and partners is how the product compares to Windows Mobile 5.0 and what the incremental capabilities are. The second most popular question is - what features require Exchange 2007."
Jason Langridge is sharing with us a document (PDF) that highlights the new features in Windows Mobile 6 by comparing it with Windows Mobile 5.0. The document also highlights the differences between the various flavours of Windows Mobile 6 - Classic, Professional and Standard. The only difference that the document didn't highlight is that Windows Mobile 5.0 has an extra ".0" in its name and Windows Mobile 6 does not.
Interesting that the "Preferred Device Description" for both Windows Mobile 6 Standard and Professional is "Windows Mobile powered smartphone".
But the important thing to note is that the "Windows Mobile powered smartphone" is spelled with the lowercase "s." :wink: "Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone" is spelled with a capital "S."
Microsoft never had a good branding department and it still doesn't. Which explains Windows Live and Live Search.
