Windows Mobile 6.5 coming

Saw this on my yahoo home page. Thought I'd pass it along. This means the genius cooks here on XDA should have something official to tear up and improve!
Windows Mobile 6.5 "Launching" May 11th?
Here's a mystery for you. In a blog post dated April 6th on Microsoft's developer site, Microsoft says there's going to be a "kick-off launch presentation of Windows Mobile 6.5 on Monday, May 11th at 1:00 pm - 2:15 pm." This notice went unnoticed until today, when Engadget and Electronista picked it up, reporting it as fresh news. (It's fresh news as in, we all missed it, but it isn't fresh as in, the post seems to be two weeks old.) The launch will be part of Microsoft's TechEd 2009 conference in Los Angeles.
When I called Microsoft PR, though, they weren't quite sure what this presentation was. After all, Windows Mobile 6.5 was announced in February, and the PR guy I spoke to said that consumer availability would not be announced on May 11th. Anyway, consumer availability is up to Microsoft's device and carrier partners, not Microsoft itself.
Here's Microsoft's official statement on the event: "We're excited about TechEd as an opportunity to talk to business customers and developers about the software for the next generation of Windows phones. There will be several sessions we think will help people learn more to get their planning ideas started about the new phones coming to market in the 2H of 2009."
My best guess is that the May 11th event is the launch of the final Windows Mobile 6.5 SDK, so developers can write programs tailored to the new OS release. TechEd is a developers' conference, the SDK hasn't come out yet, and we're getting within a few months of launch. Microsoft is going to want at least a few 6.5-compatible apps in that Windows Mobile Marketplace.

WM 6.5 Already Leaked!

Just to give everyone who hasent already gotten JustcHome on their old Wing a heads up!

Inter-bayern : madrid 2010/05/22 served by tv3 to the world

INTER / BAYERN - MADRID 2010/05/22
UEFA accorded the rights to emission to 280 M People around the world with TV3, Televisió de Catalunya ( www.tv3.cat ). This channel will deploy hundreds of cameras, even giving 3D emmissions to theaters/cinemas and also the match across the web ( www.elsesports.cat geolocked to only Spain). Every TV in the world will serve thos eimages to their public, but Image Credits will be in Catalan.
It's curious.
Televisió de Catalunya is this night the most important TV in Europe and maybe in some parts in the World (where football/soccer is the favorite sport). This is the public Catalonian TV channels owned by the (autonomous) Catalan Government (called "Generalitat" and having more than 600 inheritage years of real democracy). The *only* official languages for home emissions are Catalan and Occitan (for the Aran area) an also spanish and sometimes French can be spoken by some invited people there.
TV3 was banned from the Eurovision festival since the channel beginnings. It also had "legal" trobles to use the spanish public antennas and lots of international images had to come by car from the french border.
Catalan is not an European "official" language, while is spoken by about 10 M people - other languages spoken by less people are official. Some people is banned from works, activities or also their claims to governments are not heared because they use Catalan as their motherlanguage. There's no international cinema dubbed in Catalan (even when catalan laws say that, if dubbed, 50% must be in Catalan and the other 50% in spanish), but it's in Spanish because of spanish laws. Books translated to Catalan are more expensive than the ones translated to Spanish... and I finish here my claim list as Flar probably would delete my post.
Even, the Catalan Goverment awarded Microsoft for having created a WM6.5 version "localized" in Catalan. And Catalan is the 7th language used in Internet around the World. But I have found NO Windows Mobile ROM in Catalan, and NO T9 versions in Catalan in the market, even knowing they exist. Even asking HTC Tegic and Microsoft why they don't put their exixting versions in the market. (Microsoft products in Catalan for PC are in the market and the web for everyone!!)
Tonight (in Europe) a Catalan (a "non existant", maybe?) TV channel will serve the signal around the World for the year's most interesting soccer/football european match. The efforts are greater than the ones any other TV channel could have to do, as TV3 had to walk from pseudo-clandestinity and helped only by an (economically and politically) asfixiated="autonomous" government.
I hope you'll enjoy the match and like the work and efforts of this TV channel.

Isn't Inter- Bayern Munich?. Good post by the way..

Hi,
For the moment there is no GPS software compatible with WP7.
We must wait more time for the companies launch new version that could work with WP7.
Thanks
Santos

im conused now, so , should i exchange the phone or should wait few months??

That's really up to you. If you don't like it, then the phone isn't for you, take it back. If you do like it and are willing to wait another couple of months for GPS software, then wait. For info, i've been using the built in Maps application to get to places and it's fine as a temporary workaround.

The biggest problem at the moment is that we are forced to use the Zune portal and this will only work in a very limited number of countries.
I cannot buy any application in the marketpalce just because I live in Portugal!!!
And this is the main reason why so many companies are not willing to spend money, time and resources in developing to such a limited audience.
IGO8 was the best GPS software I have ever seen for the Xperia X1 or for any Win mobile 6.5 phone, now we cannot use it because the developers, european, are not going to do something that most of their present costumers won't be able to buy and use in their WP 7 phones!
For the same reason we don't have Skype and so many others...
Microsoft forums are loaded with complaints about this, even the people in Canada can't use Zune portal, can you believe this?
This sucks...

Not sure if I'd call the countries that WP7 is available in a "limited audience," that isn't a fair judgment simply because your country isn't supported... Most major countries ARE supported...
Now, to answer your question, the OS is a couple months old, I'd expect to see a rush of GPS software being released soon, especially with Verizon and Sprint getting involved. I'd also expect a lot of these to utilize the API to Bing Maps... Saving space on the device and making a more direct inclusion to the OS.... That's just my theory though. Be patient...

Are you for real? This is the list of supported countries:
Australia (English)
Belgique (Français)
Belgium (Nederlands)
Canada (English)
Canada (Français)
Denmark (English)
Deutschland (Deutsch)
España (Español)
Estados Unidos (Español)
Finland (English)
France (Français)
Hong Kong (English)
India (English)
Ireland (English)
Italia (Italiano)
日本 (日本語)
México (Español)
Netherlands (Nederlands)
New Zealand (English)
Norway (English)
Österreich (Deutsch)
Schweiz (Deutsch)
Singapore (English)
Suisse (Français)
Sweden (English)
United Kingdom (English)
United States (English)
20 countries!!! 20!!!
Out of almost 200 existing now! That's 10%...
In the remaining 90% of the countries in the world we are not able to buy one single song, one single application...
Imagine yourself in this situation, what would you do?
I know people that returned their phone the moment they realized how crappy the situation is.
I won't do it but I really feal cheated!

I'm not saying its an enjoyable situation, but most of the major countries are supported... Major... Also, yes, 200 countries.. But there are also some countries that won't allow implementation... But no, I wouldn't want to be in the situation, and as a Microsoft supporter I would like to see the list grow...
Sent from my HD7 using Board Express

Guys Question, maybe i too stupid for that, but how you can cancel/off everything , what you use in hd7 eg. video player , music other app?? Do I have to use arrow to make everything off? just arrow?

Yup, 10% of the worlds countries but I bet that's close to 50% of the worlds population.
Wouldn't call that a small market??
edit; According to wiki, that's 32% of the worlds population.

But the problem is Microsoft tend to distribute their phone with operator of the country without realising they dont fully support for the country like what apple do in the past. So people who buying the phone will stuck with the phone basic apps and we cant even sideload the app (although we can but ask microsoft yourself) and stuck with a contract you cant easily terminate it.
You can see that my country Malaysia had been announced as one of major countries that will sell HD7 under Maxis but do you see my country listed above? How do we suppose to buy app? by hacking the phone?
This is the link for proof
http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/11/windows-phone-7-handsets-the-tale-of-the-tape/
I think all the WinPhone 7 is good and better than apple with support of outlook and most importantly office sharepoint but the lacks of support is really frustrating. Im really regret that i not opt for HTC Desire HD.
P/S : Steve Balmer and Steve Jobs ( name also same ). Sorry for my English.
