Windows Mobile 6.5 screenshots have a little Zune in ‘em

Filed under:

Windows Mobile 6.5 was just a whisper on a Motorola phone chief Sanjay Jha’s lips two weeks ago, but now that Ballmer himself has confirmed that there’s at least one more rev of WinMo 6 en route before Windows Mobile 7 hits it looks like the floodgates have opened — check out these hot screenshots, one of which seems to have been liberally dipped in Zune sauce. We’re hoping that means we’ll see some Zune integration with this next generation of handsets, but we’re not going to get too worked up yet (cough, Xbox). It does look quite nice, though, and we’ve got our fingers crossed that this revamp is more than just a pretty new home screen and app launcher — you’re way late to that party, Microsoft. No telling on when 6.5 will actually get here, but Ballms said it’ll be sometime next year, so we’re guessing we don’t have too long to wait.

Update: As several of you have pointed out, some of the icons are a little suspicious — that “Today” icon is OS X’s Home icon, for example. We’re hoping this is the real deal and not just a user-made skin, but we wouldn’t start making any long term plans here.
