Palm OS - 0 | Windows Mobile 6 - 1
In 1990s, Palm was the icon in functionality, direct usage, and simplicity. I am sure you can recall PalmPilot 1000 (which I have the pleasure of owning one). But when 2000s came, the race for a more superior OS for mobile smartphones heated with the chase by Windows Mobile (by William Gates) and I say, they have scored home with the new release of their 5th generation of cutting edge mobile OS for PDA and smartphones.
I am still sticking to my Symbian OS S80 in Nokia 9300i for now, primarily for superior multitasking and connectivity flexibility and battery endurance. But who knows...it can anyone's game now.
Here are some highlights of upcoming Windows Mobile 6:
- HTML-formatted e-mails from POP, IMAP, and Exchange Server 2007
- Full integration with Windows Live (Search, Mail, Space, Messenger), including a Windows Mobile-based client
- Automatic synchronization of Outlook calendars and contacts through Exchange Server due to the inclusion of Direct Push on all Windows Mobile 6 devices
- New Microsoft Office Mobile, which allows users to view and even edit documents on the device while retaining formatting, including tables and images
- 30% improvement in speed for Internet Explorer Mobile
- Faster and easier set up of the device
- Easy syncing of pictures, music, etc., from Windows Vista-powered PCs to the device
- Enhanced Calendar functionality, including "Calendar ribbon," which gives users a more understandable at a glance view, and the ability to see who is attending a meeting and even forward or reply to a meeting from the device itself
- Additional Call History and Contacts integration allows you to instantly see the contact's information when dialing and get to the information you need quicker
- Improved security, including remote management and wiping of a device and protected/encrypted content
