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.

    is the 3 mins loading time on mobile internet (cant remember name - the one where u pay per page)
    or is it using wi-fi linkup?
  • 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. :)
