Windows Mobile 6.5 is still lingering in last century

Microsoft recently came with the announcement of Windows Mobile 6.5 in MWC yesterday and it looks good from a first sight and also feels way ahead of its previous versions. Ahem, "... way ahead of its previous versions"? Not at all folks, Win Mo is just got a new look and some tweaks here and there, that's all. I wonder what's MS is doing all the way since January 2007, when Apple announced their revolutionary iPhone for the first time. This is 2009 and there is still not support for Capacitive Touchscreens? Adding to our agony, no update Media Player, weirdly small onscreen keyboard in IE, no direct Zune integration, what the hell is this?

In my last post, I was talking about buying a new phone this year and also waiting for Win Mo 6.5 to show its colours. But now, MS made my choices pretty simple, it's now Android, iPhone or Palm Pre.
