Windows Mobile 6.1 has better home page functionality
The Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system has launched in the AT&T Tilt and Samsung Blackjack II, while Sprint expects to put it in four of its models shortly.
PCMag.com’s review of it says the home page is improved, with a “Getting Started” application that quickly helps you set up date and time and e-mail, connect your Bluetooth headset and set ringtones, wallpaper and music choices. It also uses modular themed blocks, bringing groupings of content to the front of the device.
The review also lauded it for how it integrates with Windows Media Player, Outlook and other Microsoft applications.
On the negative side, it calls for Microsoft to make additional improvements to Pocket Internet Explorer and the system’s user interface. Both could be a little smoother if this OS is going to compete with what Apple is doing with the iPhone and what’s expected from Google’s Android.
