Windows Mobile 6.1

There’s a video of Windows Mobile 6.1 over at Engadget and I can’t get over how slow the web browser is. There’s some other “cool” new features, that task manager looks “exciting”. Seriously though, watching 3 minutes of a site loading and navigation I’m surprised MS hasn’t improved anything substantial. Maybe without a touch screen they can’t produce somehting substantial but seriously, can’t MS make a web browser that loads a site like it should, it’s clearly not helping anything having it they way they have it now, nor does it speed anything up.

About the Author, Dan Cameron:

I'm the owner and solution engineer , a web solutions company that specializes in web development including WordPress.

I started my first blog in 2003 and transitioned to WordPress in 2004. Since moving to WordPress I've written a few plugins and themes for public consumption. Lately I'm busy engineering/building/coding and have only been able to share a few code snippets.

If you're in need of some web development, web design or custom WordPress plugins and/or themes contact me, I'll be happy to discuss it with you.

    Wow, that is pretty slow. It must be a slimmed down version and/or a very underpowered device, because my phone (HTC Wizard) that I’ve had for a long time now is much faster (the whole UI). Of course, it’s also had a touch screen forever too, so this phone just seems to be a bit behind the times.

    One good thing though: on these devices, if you don’t like the browser it comes with, you can always load others. :)
