Now there is no doubt that the next version of the Windows Mobile operating system will be released under the index 6.5, and not 7, as stated earlier.
Accidentally or intentionally, at the end of October, the executive director of Motorola, in charge of the mobile device sector, Sanjay Jha let out information about plans to release Windows Mobile 6.5-based handhelds in the second half of 2009.
This phrase would have remained a random disclaimer if it were not for Microsoft Executive Director Steve Ballmer. While in Australia at the Telstra Investor Briefing 2008 conference, Ballmer confirmed the existence of Windows Mobile 6.5, the announcement of which, in his words, is scheduled for the first half of next year.

UPD: If it was already, then the search did not give anything.Unfortunately, Ballmer did not go into details, speaking of Windows Mobile 6.5, although he promised that he should wait for an improvement in the interface and a clearer work of software applications. Steve Ballmer also announced the company's intention to integrate Zune player software applications into a new operating system. This innovation applies to both mobile and PC versions.
The Softpedia.com publication, citing its sources at Microsoft, claims that Windows Mobile 6.5 will be sent to Microsoft partner companies for testing next month. If testing passes normally, in the first quarter of 2009, Windows Mobile 6.5 will really be released.
As for Windows Mobile 7, all analysts are waiting for its appearance not earlier than the third quarter of 2009. Ballmer himself, speaking of Windows Mobile 7, tried to avoid mentioning any deadlines.
