Windows Mobile to Windows branding change confirmed?
The Windows Mobile Development team has published some photos on flickr of the Windows Mobile pavilion at Mobile World Congress, and while Windows is prominently displayed there is no sign of the Mobile part.
Whether the change will have any material impact will remain to be seen, but some market confusion is very likely over the next 6 months.

Update: A new picture also suggest the Windows Mobile name is dead. In this first picture of Microsft stand there isn’t a single mention of Windows Mobile… Source [Via]

6.5 may be demonstrated on proper hardware and put the haters to rest! Wonder why I keep calling it 6.5 when it looks like Microsoft won’t be doing the same. Here’s a thought:
What if 6.5 was a decoy, and they’ll totally surprise us with 7!?
I mean, what if they finished early!?
Nah that’s too far. Damn can’t this time go ahead faster!?
