The new OS developed by none other than Microsoft seems to be taking the Smart phone world by a small drizzle. After the dismal experiences of using previous Windows Mobile operating systems, it seems that Microsoft have finally learnt how to put together a properly working Mobile OS.A few companies have decided to launch their phones with the new OS. Namely AT&T with their HTC Pure, and the HTC Tilt 2.
The main focus of Microsoft has been to make the experience of using their OS more enjoyable. By redoing the entire Home screen, and making all of the menus more 'touch friendly'. The OS is also slightly faster, and allows for easy integration of the up and coming Windows Marketplace, which is set to take on the App Store.
This is the old home screen compared with the new one.
Although Microsoft have released Windows 7 for PC, they are lagging a bit behind in the Mobile market. However 6.5 is a big step in the right direction from 6.1.Many people would caution at getting the new OS, and to rather wait for the release of Windows 7 Mobile next year, however if you are one of those people that want to try anything new, and don't mind a few bugs. Go for it! Well done Microsoft, hopefully this will make the market a bit more competitive for iPhone and Android.
