windows mobile 6.1 officially relased today!

As you can read on MS website
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/6-1/default.mspx
Today microsoft has launched Windows mobile 6.1

i also read this news on an italian portal (pockepcitalia) but theu say that HTC will release the update only for the TYTN II....
but why?

So the best feature IMO the sliding panel, is missing from the touch screen version of WM 6.1 nice

Well that link is for smartphone anyways,
but yes, pda 6.1 isn't that much of an upgrade, while smartphone version is.

that's my opinion, too
WM6.1 on PDAs is not more than a facelift.

A very light facelift!

well, actually not only a facelift.
I enjoy very much the zoom out in PIE and also the new chat like view of the SMS
And the embedded task manager too

No, WM6.1 more faster then WM6.0
And more stability.

@Henry_Lee
Do you know that for sure or do you assume that only?

I test WM6.0 original ROM and WM6.1
And I tried it also at HTC P3450. The same results.

I take this with a grain of salt. The OS always seems faster when re-loaded for the first time.

You think? But.... One week it is "first time" or not?

Yep...still too soon. I have done my share of OS upgrading too. Use it for a month or more then compare that device with a WM 6.0 device side by side.

You may be right on this. I also realized, that WM6.1 seems to have
optimized kernel and so be faster in response. So i confirm, that WM6.1
also in my opinion is "better" than WM6.0. My former statement of the
facelift was regarding to the optical appearance of WM6.1 on PDA devices
in comparison to the optical improvements of the Smartphone version.
Hope that made it clear

As you can see there aren't that many updates from 6.0 to 6.1. But everything can run faster and better. (Hope so)

Good point....
I rebooted my Orbit2 about one time per week.
I think 1-2 day enoght for stability of all cashes and good time for testing.

It's not even sure if HTC will release a WM6.1 upgrade for the Touch Cruise.
Being patient is all what you can do, or use a custom rom

when I have qtek was very simple on official site was everything rom's e.t.c. but for htc e-club zero....

My friend you sold your TP2 because the HD2 has the double amount of Ram and double the processor speed. Because it is an revolutionary phone.
It is good news because it indicates that HTC starts to support more and more their devices, and someday maybe you will get an update that will make very very happy. If that happens i don't think that will you complain then.
I write those things with all the respect of course! I didn't want to insult you!

You should tell HTC to stop doing that, so that they never make any updates to the HD2...

The best news in a long time!
That means there will finally be full landscape for Sense!
Can you please post a link to that update?

the htc touch pro 2 has got an official upgrade for htc sense 2.5 because maybe HD2 will get another upgrade:WM7

My hd2 triple-boots windows vista, android & winmo

On this the 1st day of April in the year of our Lord 2010 I become a total fool. I even end up lying to myself.

today, mine is running the iPhone software that i have hacked onto it. but soon i will remove it because it is rubbish and only uses about a quater of the screen

lol no os 10.6?

i just opened the android market because the tmo store guy told me i could and downloaded all the apps on my hd2

And I just managed to run the worlds first working tricoder software, made exclusively for HD2 by NASA.
Funny, I have tried to scan Iphone with it, but its says nothing is there...

I've just installed some software that alows you to use your HD2 as a can opener by turning the camera flash LED into a powerful laser.

My HD2 works perfectly.

i hacked my camera and now its working as a mobile beamer!
with hd resolution
DN41

What a wonderfull day
My SMS was send without problems, and I am not suprised ... because:
"Keeping in touch has always been very important, and HTC delivers fast and reliable SMS messaging."

When we'll have working WM rom for HD2? Tired of these android/linux roms

Today I installed Windows Mobile 8.3.5 with hypertouch support and mind reader, plus I use the camera as an holoprojector and I emulate perfectly the Xbox360

yesh i know... Just wanted to let you know whats happening with HTC...
but if anything else comes it'll be up here ASAP

I hope you get somewhere!
I'd actually like just a revamped version of the existing phone!
Same case/keyboard/screen (or SLIGHTLY larger) just:
Faster CPU
More memory
HSDPA
USB host
VGA out
SSD
Possibly dual-boot to Windows XP(/7)/Windows Mobile
Higher gain antenna
That for me would make the PERFECT device.

cant run xp and wm on the same device, not without actually creating 2 devices. different processor architecture.

well,
i'm waiting for a reply from the HTC dudes.
so well wait and see
