The new version of Windows Mobile is no longer rumor: Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has confirmed it. But, wait, this one is Windows Mobile 6.5, instead of Windows Mobile 7!

There is some progress out there at Microsoft in Windows Mobile area, but nothing of it has been released yet (we expect official launch of Windows Mobile 6.5 at Mobile World Congress 2009 in February 2009 and official launch of Windows Mobile 7 at the same event in 2010).
