Windows Mobile to get a new on-screen keyboard in version 6.5.3

Microsoft will most likely introduce a new on-screen keyboard in the upcoming update to Windows Mobile. Apparently, WinMo 6.5 build 28002 comes with an updated DLL file which is used for virtual keyboard customization. It’s not clear how will this affect the handset makers which may have already developed their own keyboard apps, but it’s certainly good to know that even the most generic WinMo devices (those not made by the major companies) will come with something actually usable. The image above certainly goes in that direction…
