Microsoft Device Emulator lets you run Windows Mobile 6 on your PC
Just so you know, installing Windows Mobile 5.0 or 6 in an emulator is easy. Getting it to interact with your desktop so you can copy and install files takes a bit more work. And you'll need a fairly fast computer to run the emulator. On our system it ate up to 340MB of RAM and used a fair bit of CPU cycles.

Microsoft to bundle Zumobi with Windows Mobile
Microsoft and Zumobi have announced a deal to distribute the Zumobi interface and widget platform with Windows Mobile. The move isn't particularly surprising, seeing as Zumobi is closely tied with Microsoft, and the zooming Windows Mobile interface was developed as part of Microsoft's IP Ventures Group.The Zumobi platform aims to tackle one of the problems inherent with cellphone software: it's hard to display a lot of information on a small screen. The interface presents users with 16 easy to see tiles and the ability to zoom in on just 4, or to zoom into a single application. This makes it easy to deal with a large amount of information without using up much space.
The partnership doesn't necessarily mean that every Windows Mobile 5.0/6 device you see from now on will include the Zumobi interface. It will most likely be up to manufacturers and wireless providers to decide whether to use the software. But we're guessing the announcement means we'll be seeing Zumobi on a lot more devices in the future. Currently you need to download the software from Zumobi's site to install it, and we're guessing the vast majority of Windows Mobile users have yet to hear of Zumobi let alone install the platform.

Microsoft launches Office Mobile 6.1
Microsoft has released an updated version of Office Mobile for Windows Mobile 6 phones and PDAs. The biggest change is that Microsoft has added support for Office 2007 documents. It kind of baffles us that Microsoft would release Windows Mobile 6 around the same time as Office 2007 and not automatically include support for docx, pptx, and xlsx documents, but it's nice to see Microsoft catch up with itself here.
This is the first time that Microsoft has issued an Office Mobile update directly to consumers. Typically Office Mobile is built into the Windows Mobile operating system and is only available from hardware makers.
Office Mobile 6.1 also includes:
- Enhanced charts in Excel Mobile
- Ability to view SmartArt in PowerPoint Mobile
- Ability to extract files from zipped folders
