Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Details Now Available On our way to Windows Mobile 7 we will most likely pass through Windows Mobile 6.5.3. While Microsoft will surely unveil Windows Mobile 7 at MWC, the first phones capable to run will only arrive later this year. In the mean time current Windows Mobile 6.5 phones will probably be upgraded to version 6.5.3

So what will the new OS version bring us you ask? Well it looks like the first details about it are now available already thanks to that Sony Ericsson Aspen that will be running Windows Mobile 6.5.3:

- Platform to enable multitouch
- Touch controls throughout system (no need for stylus)
- Consistent Navigation
- Horizontal scroll bar replaces tabs (think settings>system>about screen)
- Magnifier to bring touch support to legacy applications
- Simplified out-of-box experience with fewer steps
- Drag and drop icons on Start Screen
- Browser page load time decreased and memory management improved
- Browser pan & flick gestures smoothed and zoom & rotation speed increased
- Updated runtime tools (.NET CF 3.5, SQL CE 3.1)
- Arabic read/write document support
- Watson (error reporting) improvements and bug fixes

Anyone excited? Well don't be just yet since we have no idea what other phones will get this Windows Mobile version.
