| mobile, a compact version of Windows designed for mobile devices,
| such as Pocket PCs and Smartphones.

Review of Windows Mobile 6.0 for PPC (Crossbow) operating system

| Regrettably, this world lacks miracles and this case is just another
| proof of that. The system still doesn?t offer support for several
| active windows in Internet Explorer, so that you are limited to a
| single window at a time, also profiles are missing in WM; the office
| applications haven?t been enhanced either. Nor were the multimedia
| tools. What the company has really got to do is keep on tuning
| Office Mobile, extending Windows Live, release Windows Media Mobile
| 11 and so on.
