Windows Mobile 6: 'Vista' for mobile phones

Get more email, chat more and more features: Microsoft's new Windows Mobile 6 operating system has opened up a range of communication features and gives the mobile phone a whole new look.

The ability to communicate via Push-Mail and a whole host of new Mail programs is at the heart of this product. Accordingly, the Outlook Mobile feature on the phone can meet the users' expectations. That is most evident when writing mail in HTML format.

Currently, messages of this type are sent more often, because HTML can handle coordinates in web design. So far, smartphones designed based on Windows operating systems only apply a few discrete features of this operating system.

But with this mobile generation, that will end. Like on PC, the text in HTML-Mail will appear on this mobile screen in a multicolored twist. In addition, the photos on the screen are also clearer. This software is also trying to be able to do 'magic tricks' on screen images. Basically, it's almost like resizing photos to fit the screen size.

Push-mail

More important to create the attraction for this generation of Windows phones is the ability to receive push-mail. Under this method, new mail will immediately be transferred automatically to the phone.

Currently, Nokia's Blackberry is completely market-leading in email phones. But Microsoft will change that. The development of this feature is absolutely correct, because according to Gartner market research, the number of push-mail users by 2010 will increase from 10 million at the current level to 230 million.

Of course, Microsoft push-mail only works if supported by Microsoft Exchange Server. Microsoft Exchange Server is widely used in most companies because it allows information exchange throughout the company by combining email, schedule, electronic forms and text sharing. But those who do not know about this feature, Microsoft promised to create a hHtmail account completely free of charge and especially that account has Push-mail function.

In addition, there is a waiting function for personal users, that is, Outlook Mobile can read webmail. Microsoft makes sure that it takes up to 5 steps to create a webmail account.

Remote security

An IRM (Informationsrechtmanagement) system will be set up to be able to send mobile mail, IRM itself will determine who can receive it, print it and can reply with any type of mail.

More importantly, this product line will be absolutely secure. The mobile is installed with Windows Mobile 6 operating system while it is still sending and receiving mail, it will be secured remotely. All information will be lost in the event of a loss of the phone, this is to ensure that confidential information will not reach outsiders.

More office utilities

It is clear that Microsoft has been very focused on turning the phone into a mobile office. The installation of Word, Excel, Power Point and Outlook software packages for new mobile generation will make reading and editing office documents as easy as on PC. However, the miniature office function has not really worked perfectly, the main problem here is: to change the data format during data storage. This is mainly related to the format of the data, because the phone does not support all programs on the PC.

Windows Live

With this new operating system, Microsoft is in control of using features in the Windows Live 'family' on the Internet (Plattform) platform. All online services can be used directly on smartphones and PDAs. For example, the ability to search directly on the Windows Live search engine.

Not surprisingly, there is a Windows Live Messenger chat application. Maybe in the future users can just chat and can exchange data, .

Internet calling is just like an Option

Currently, some smartphones have been equipped with EDGE (this service allows data transfer 3 times faster than GPRS) of GSM, UMTS and WLAN networks. And of course, new Microsoft products also support those utilities.

Although the VoIP (Voice-over-IP) function has also been integrated into this operating system, the connection depends on the service provider's wishes, besides there are only a few. Network operators provide this service.

Advantage as a real secretary

Linking the data to the computer will be done. Microsoft will 'take care' of customers who have used the new Windows operating system with the 'Windows device hub' program, and computers using older software can also be downloaded online. Unlike 'predecessor' - ActiveSync software, this 'Windows device center' is more stable and secure in appointment apps, business reminders, or multimedia content, movies, music, pictures.
