It's out, with official screenshots -
http://www.engadget.com/2009/[....]-announces-windows-mobile-6-5/
Actually looks okay, but according to Engadget, MS say it won't be released for any devices on the market currently - so that could be bad news for X1 owners.
Of course the hacks at XDA-devs may have different ideas, but if MS don't want to propagate it, that maybe because it won't run (very well) on current devices.

It's already running on the X1 and available for download...check XDA.

The Touch-IT beta? So, are you running it? How smooth is it?

I dare not run that stuff on my phone...I actually need to use my phone on a regular basis
But, reading the latter pages of the thread, you'll see the OS runs pretty smoothly with a few minor bugs (to be expected).

Also, looks like WM 6.5 will be less customizable for different manufacturers.

Yeah, microsoft also demanded that every manufacturer must place a hardware īstartī key on every WinMo 6.5 phone. I guess MS is trying to have more control over the WinMo experience. I think itīs a good thing.
I know itīs off topic but itīs amazing to see the effect the iphone had on the mobile market. Every manufacturer releasing large touch screen devices with finger friendly navigation and app shops. I didnīt think the blow was so hard. It seems like everyone is trying to improve its interface to better appleīs. The market has really evolved.
idou, nokia n97, palm pre, omnia hd, they all seem amazing. I keep wondering if apple can continue to stay ahead in the interface/OS game. Most manufaturers have better hardware already and the Pre has proved itīs possible to have effective multitasking with an iphoneīs like interface. Letīs wait till june, maybe apple has something up their sleeves, they oughtta, the market just got a whole lot more competitive now.

WM has always supported more than 65K colors.

Will have to see how stable it is.
Microsoft operating systems tend to be a bit unstable
when released don't usually work properly until at least
service pack 1.

Bear in mind this is mostly a cosmetic upgrade (the underlying OS will be pretty much unchanged from 6.1).
Wait till WM7 for some serious bugs.
