Smartphone edition of next major upgrade to Windows Mobile - Crossbow - has been unveiled ! October 27, 2006 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R. We have published screen shot from Crossbow for Pocket PC previously and we also explained the road map of Crossbow. Now screen shots of smartphone version of Crossbow and even more additional information (MS Smartphone gets Office Mobile!) has been published: These days there is quite a bit of confusion between Smartphones and PDAPhones, but when Smartphones first came out at the tail end of 2002 with the Orange SPV / Qtek 1010 they were the first phones running on a Windows/WinCE platform. At the time WinCE was used mostly on PocketPCs that came all the way from the fist Windows CE 1.0 devices launched in 1997. A lot of "convergence" has happened since, with PocketPCs having had GPS and GSM/CDMA modules grafted on and Smartphones acquiring more power and the higher resolution screens of the PocketPCs. Today, the main differences are the touchscreen that remains a PDA exclusive and a more limited number of applications running on Smartphones, notably Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and GPS related. This might change with the arrival of Crossbow that takes the convergence further as seen below in an exclusive look at its Smartphone version. Note the new icon based program menu and the presence of Excel, Word and PowerPoint.
