Windows Mobile 6.1 to be announced on April 1?

Reuben Lee | Mar 26, 2008

Ok, I'll be the first to admit that an April 1 date sure makes the whole announcement thing sound rather dodgy. But word is that Microsoft will be launching its rumored update to its Window Mobile 6 operating system on April Fool's Day, regardless of the implications, and which coincidentally (or not) is also the first day of the CTIA Wireless tradeshow in Las Vegas.

According to a report on Pocket-lint, Windows Mobile 6.1 is designed as the temporary upgrade solution for Windows Mobile handheld users before version 7 is introduced. The former will offer several enhancements over the Windows Mobile 6 version which debuted in February 2007, including a cleaner user interface, new homescreen, task manager and the ability to copy-and-paste in Internet Explorer.

We'll be in touch with Microsoft for the official statement, so keep a watch out for our upcoming updates.
