Daily Tech: 7 Oct 2009

Posted by dk on October 7th, 2009

Windows Mobile 6.5 is finally here although I’ve lost count on the number of times people told me that it should be called 6.2 instead. Well, at least the new Today Screen looks a lot nicer. Plus a better Internet Explorer (Finally) and Windows Marketplace.

Have you gotten the new Windows Mobile 6.5? How is the experience so far?

    I think staggering the icons just makes it look messy.

    G: Yeap, it is messy. But not to worry. Most WinMo phone makers will slap their UI over it so that you won’t need to see that messy staggering icons.
