All eyes are on upcoming Windows Vista, so it is easy to overlook other updates from Microsoft. They are working on an update of Windows Mobile, making it look more like Vista. It is still based on the Windows CE 5.x base, is called "Crossbow" for now and should be out in early 2007. The first Windows CE 6 based OS will currently carries the codename "Photon" and will be released in 2008. Microsoft also mentioned a one year cycle for new mobile OS versions from now on.
