Something new on the Windows Mobile front! On Microsoft’s mobile blog they have said that Windows Phones running Windows Mobile 6.5 are coming October 6th. I have to say that WinMo 6.5 looks like mainly cosmetic changes and I don’t think its going to rejuvenate Windows Mobile (now called Windows Phones) but I may be wrong. The new OS adds the marketplace and a more finger friendly UI.

On Oct. 6th, you’ll see new Windows phones designed for a variety of tastes, needs and price points – with or without keyboards, with or without touch screens, as well as your choice of GPS, accelerometer and high resolution camera. There are a lot of great options and we can’t wait to show them to you. Until then, keep an eye on our partners as they announce details on new Windows phones and where you can find them this fall.
