Can't wait for HTC to offer a free Windows Mobile upgrade for your PDA? Visual Windows Mobile 6 is an application designed to make your Windows Mobile 5.0 PDA or phone look and act a bit more like a WM6 device.

It seems like this happens every time a new operating system is announced. There are programs to make Windows XP look like Vista or Mac OS X. There are programs designed to make Windows Mobile phones look like Apple's upcoming iPhone.

Really, what this shows is that independent developers are just about as capable as large businesses at developing ways to spruce up a computer interface. But people are more likely to notice their designs when they pick up on innovations that are already getting a lot of attention like the Aero interface in Windows Vista, the touch-screen iPhone, or in this case, Windows Mobile 6.

Visual Windows Mobile 6 also comes with a couple of extra programs that add functions like a fake cursor, battery monitor, and program launcher.
