Latest Windows Mobile Build Is Finger Friendly

Portable enthusiasts at Pocketnow have published a video showing the latest Windows Mobile 6.5 build due to launch in Spring (NZ) and though this might not be the final version we will be getting, it gives a good indication to what Microsoft is planning for to enter the fingers-only smartphone wars.

New things to note about the new build are the rounded edges of the screen and the new tab system which eliminates the use of a stylus, replacing them with a looping track that you could swipe your fingers across to navigate.

The "Honeycomb" UI looks easy to use and it runs smoothly though there is a slight issue with the tiny font in some sub-menus which require some squinting to read. Other than that little problem it is a potential contender to other smartphone OSes like Android and the OSX for iPhones.
