Microsoft posted the Windows Mobile 6.5 SDK on January 22 and then it was pulled a few days later. It’s being speculated that Microsoft mistakingly included Windows Mobile 6.5.3 software in the SDK and thus was the reason it was pulled. Very unprofessional, but shit happens. What’s so secret about 6.5.3? It’s more touch friendly, bigger buttons in some applications, and not much else, check out the video we made at CES 2010 for more info.

We’re all waiting for Windows Mobile 7.0 and Microsoft knows this, so then why would they pull an SDK just because it unveiled some minor intern release software?

IntoMobile will be at Mobile World Congress and if Microsoft doesn’t reveal Windows Mobile 7.0 then we’ll point, and laugh, and cry, and then tweet about our emotions on our new Apple iSlates, iPads and iTablets.
