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.

    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. :)
