Windows Mobile 6.1 reviews start to appear- looks nice

As Kevin mentioned today Microsoft officially announced Windows Mobile 6.1 and we’re already starting to see reviews appear all over the web.  My favorite one so far along with a great video overview of the new UI is from Laptop Magazine.  They have rated WM6.1 with 4 stars out of 5 and generally seem to really like all of the improvements in the OS.  The video shows how nice the sliding panels work on the Today Screen and I can’t wait to get my hands on this new OS upgrade, if it’s offered for my devices.

DISCLAIMER:  I have recently been commissioned by Laptop Magazine to do some article work for an upcoming issue this summer.  This has nothing to do with any linking I do to their web site as they have to earn any links we give them here on jkOnTheRun.

    Its hard to take them serious when they have never seen the updated Live Search. Which has been out for months. O well I guess, I just don’t think it should have been the bulk of the video and its funny that they dont know its not new.

    Yeah, I like the sliding panel and would have liked to see it on the Today screen in WM Pro and not just on WM Standard.
