WinMo IE 6 Browser To Hit WinMo v6.1 Handsets

This could well be the year for Windows to really break through with more than just a handful of devices and a few software/firmware updates. Microsoft has got a lot happening in their camp and not just in the PC segment. It seems like they are going at it hardcore in the mobile division as well with Windows Mobile 6.5 on the cusp of its final stages of being a more official part of the mobile community. By that I mean in the form of actual devices that are available for purchase off the shelves.

And let’s not forget that we won’t have to consider or take for granted that WinMo would probably come out with an upgrade for that sooner or later. We already know for a fact that WinMo 7 is on its way as well. At a much later date though. 

Considering existing users of the v6.1 persuasion will not be able to simply install an upgrade to v6.5, the community was going to obviously be a little upset. Microsoft hasn’t promised anything just yet, but a few reports do have it that v6.1 users will still be able to enjoy at least a little bit of the 6.5 fun in the form of their mobile browsing experience. Microsoft intends to provide their existing user base with an ‘upgrade’ to an IE Mobile 6 web browsing experience that WinMo 6.5 users will have. Microsoft will be providing Windows Mobile 6.1 AKU 1.4 that will come with IE Mobile 6. This will be available on all the new Windows Mobile smartphones till the 6.5 version is out officially.

That’s just for the mobile maniacs, but Microsoft fans and even those just looking to see what a probable glimpse of future technology could be like will love this video that the company put together. Although what you will see are all works in progress, drawing board stages and concepts (hopefully) the video itself is extremely entertaining. It depicts what the world could be like in the year 2019. Click here to view.
