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 <i>".0"</i> in its name and Windows Mobile 6 does not. :D

Interesting that the "Preferred Device Description" for both Windows Mobile 6 Standard and Professional is "Windows Mobile powered smartphone".

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.
