What's new in Windows Mobile 6.1

Easier initial setup

Getting Started screen on WM6.1 Professional.

One of the main complaints about WM is how difficult it is to get everything set up. For example, to perform tasks like setting up an email account, pairing a Bluetooth headset and choose a ringtone, you need to start the process from three different locations within the user interface. With WM6.1, there is a Getting Started tab found on the Home screen. This lets you perform all those tasks right at the point when you first receive your brand new handset. Once all the settings have been put in place, you can then choose to remove this Getting Started tab.

The Getting Started tab on WM6.1 Standard is part of its Home screen interface.
