Leaked screenshots of upcoming Windows Mobile OS

Microsoft's next-generation Windows Mobile OS (code-named Crossbow) is once again in the spotlight as what appears to be screenshots of the new operating system were posted on the Web, courtesy of MSMobile.com. From the image of the Today home screen, it seems that Crossbow will adopt a glossier look-and-feel with icons that appear similar to those on Vista.

The new Windows Mobile OS will also come with "strong links to Office 2007 and Exchange 12 for push emails" as well as a built-in instant messenger (most probably Windows Live Messenger). Handhelds with the new OS are expected to be commercially available in the first half of 2007, while Crossbow's successor, Photon, is due to hit the market one year later in 2008.
