Microsoft planning tighter Windows Mobile integration with HTC’s TouchFLO UI

There are some changes in store for Windows Mobile. Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) VP of the Mobile Communications Group, Todd Warren sat down with Unwired View at Mobile World Congress 2008 and basically outlined what we can expect from future versions of Windows Mobile.
Apparently, Microsoft is “also working on improving the base of media and picture experiences as part of Windows Mobile. You can expect, I would say, pretty dramatic change to those in future versions of the product,” according to Warren. There are improvements to the HTC TouchFLO interface as well as plans to better integrate Windows Mobile with the TouchFLO interface that made a splash on the popular HTC Touch smartphone.
With Windows Mobile 6.1 on the horizon and the Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) XPERIA X1 rumored to be rocking Windows Mobile 6.5, we can’t wait to see what Microsoft has in store for us with future WinMo releases. It had better step up to the plate. Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s iPhone and S60’s Touch UI’s are banging on the door and Microsoft had better not answer in anything less than its Sunday Best.

“Apple’s iPhone and S60’s Touch UI’s are banging on the door and Microsoft had better not answer in anything less than its Sunday Best.”
That quote just conjured up an image in my mind of S60 and iPhone UI attending a fancy dress party as Elvis and Fonzy respectively and WinMo answers the door dressed in drag with high heels. “Hello boys!”
Crazy shizznit!!
LOL
active imagination we have there, eh?
…S60 Touch isn’t knocking on anyone’s door. From the early looks of things, that UI is about as exciting as a bag of rocks.
will, you got any insider info on the at&t vu?
