Windows Mobile becomes Windows Phone
Microsoft has noted that Windows Mobile will soon be known as Windows Phone, after an official name/brand change.
Microsoft reps, according to The Inquirer say the name Windows Phone applies to Windows Mobile 6.1, 6.5 and multitouch Windows Mobile 7. At least something in the Windows universe is forwards and backwards compatible.
The name change will also “reflect the upcoming desktop operating system release where people away from their PC can have the same experience everywhere,” concludes the software giant. Features of the new platform (that is WM 6.5, aka Windows Phone) include back-up of all SMS and email content into Vole’s cloud, remote disabling of the handset and inclusion of an Itunes-alike Windows Mobile software repository called Market Place.
