Windows Mobile 7 Backwards-Compatible with 6.x

Windows CE 7, aka "Chelan"

This article has been proven to be false.  Microsoft’s new Windows Phone mobile operating system will not be backwards-compatible with WM6.

This is very exciting news for me. Why? Because I’ve spent over $300 on Windows Mobile 6 applications over the past two years! Many confirmed internet sources are saying that WM7 is based on an improved version of Windows CE (nicknamed “Chelan”). Some people may be turned off to this fact because people seem to think that Windows CE was a lost cause since inception. This is simply not true, guys. In my opinion, yes Windows CE is antiquated. But a newer version means a newer version. This isn’t going to be a 6.5 to 6.6 update… this is Seven.

The upside to the backward-compatibility news is that:

  1. Your WM6 apps will work with WM7,
  2. We KNOW Internet Explorer 7 for mobile will be improved, and
  3. We KNOW flash support will be improved.

That’s really the only thing most consumers are asking for right now (a better browsing experience). The only sad news is that ActiveSync isn’t going away icon razz Windows Mobile 7 Backwards Compatible with 6.x .

IE7 and Windows Mobile 7

We are living in a world full of information readily available on the World Wide Web.  Did you know that Microsoft’s Internet Explorer for Windows Mobile is the only browser that doesn’t support HTML 5?  What is going on here Microsoft?  Are you so busy peddling your own proprietary software that you can’t realize that your suffocating yourself?  It’s all very clear from the Windows Mobile consumer’s point of view: we need a better browser with Windows Mobile 7.

Every now and then Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’s CEO, hints that Windows Mobile 7 will encompass many features that the Zune mp3 player currently uses.  Oh, yay.  Thanks.  Now I can play MP3′s on my phone?  That’s revolutionary. </sarcasm>

Even though I am an avid Microsoft fanboy, I can’t leave Windows Mobile 7 unaccountable for what we as consumers expect.  I mean, we are giving them hundreds of hard-earned dollars, right?  Shouldn’t we have a stable browser by now?
