We've been hearing a lot from Microsoft's Senior Project Manager Loke Uei Tan recently regarding Windows Mobile 6.5 and today he is defending Windows Mobile 6.5.There has been a lot of criticism for 6.5 recently, mainly around how few upgrades it brings over 6.1.
But Loke is having none of it.
He wants people to see just how much has been achieved in the very short time that the project has been given.
"The reason why we couldn't complete the interface on Windows Mobile 6.5 is because of time. We only spend what, eight months, nine months, to build 6.5 from ground up and it's actually an amazing engineering feat. But, in order to do that, we had to do some prioritization and we had to cut certain features. Eventually, we will make sure that the UI capabilities are carried out throughout the whole platform."
In this 12 min video Dale Coffing and Chris DeHerrera also stand by Windows Mobile 6.5 demonstrating the UI improvements.
[remember it is only the UI which people are complaining about]
The WM Dev Team on Twitter have posted the following recently :
"For the record, Windows Mobile 6.5 is DONE... complete... looks really good IOHO and every bit functional. ping us if u want to know more."
"New product launch, that's all I'm allowed to say. Hold off from buying an iPhone/Pre"
If 6.5 and the Marketplace are ready are we going to hear about the pre-installed first devices and upgrades in June???
