Company Microsoft has still not released version 6.5 operating system, Windows Mobile, focused on smart phones and other mobile devices, but there are rumors that had already begun beta testing the next version.

The source of these rumors is a kind of user Linkedin, the alleged chief engineer of the Chinese arms Motorola, who wrote in his blog that he is currently working on product development and migration of applications to the platform Windows Mobile 7.0 (Beta). If the testing is already attracting third-party developers, it means the creation of next-generation Microsoft Mobile already highly advanced. According to rumors, the public testing of Windows Mobile 7.0 will be sometime in this year, and in 2010 will Release To Manufacturing. This means that from the launch of Windows Mobile 6.5 this year and his replacement in next year will be only six months.

Major new features in Windows Mobile 6.5 are already known, in particular, in this version will have a new user interface, which, according to Microsoft, will simplify the use of devices, improved version of Internet Explorer, as well as access to a Windows Mobile Marketplace-style App Store. However, updates that will make this version of Windows Mobile 7, has not yet been made public. Probably as a result of a future version, now known as Windows Mobile 7.0, will be called "Windows Phones", as with the version of Windows Mobile 6.5, Microsoft has plans to begin gradually to change the nomenclature of their mobile operating systems.

With confidence we can say only that with increasing competition from the enormously popular iPhone OS and Android platform with open source, the couple next release or allow Microsoft to consolidate its position in the market of mobile operating systems, or lead to the fact that Windows Mobile is practically no longer in use in mobile phones.
