Rumors confirmed : next major Windows Mobile version is codenamed PHOTON and it will merge smartphone and Pocket PC December 09, 2005 [General] | By Edward J. R. We have published already in April 2005 (!) rumor that Windows Mobile PHOTON will be the next major version of Windows Mobile and it will merge both MS Smartphone and Pocket PC into one. 
Now this rumor is no longer a rumor but it has been confirmed officially during Mobius 2005 USA by Microsoft itself!!! now it's official... Microsoft is set to merge Smartphone and Pocket PC in the next major release of Windows Mobile, creating a single Windows Mobile operating system for all types of devices. Development of the new operating system, codenamed 'Photon', is now underway To learn more click here. You can give there, in a discussion forum managed by a Microsoft MVP, suggestions as to what should be placed as new features in the Windows Mobile PHOTON (successor to Windows Mobile MAGNETO = Windows Mobile 5.0). Probable name of Windows Mobile PHOTON will be Windows Mobile 6.0 but Windows Mobile 5.0 or other name cannot be excluded yet. One is for sure: it will not be Windows Mobile 2006 - Microsoft has given up this numbering scheme for Windows Mobile for good. Please note: Windows Mobile PHOTON still is years away (or so claims Microsoft in order not to hinder sales of Windows Mobile 5.0 devices) and before PHOTON there will be Windows Mobile CROSSBOW released probably as Windows Mobile 5.0 Second Edition.
