Windows Mobile (rebranded as Windows Phone with the launch of Windows Mobile 6.5)
is a compact mobile operating system developed by Microsoft, and designed for use
in smartphones and mobile devices.
The current version is called "Windows Mobile 6.5". It is based on the Windows CE
5.2 kernel, and features a suite of basic applications developed using the Microsoft
Windows API. It is designed to be somewhat similar to desktop versions of Windows,
feature-wise and aesthetically. Additionally, third-party software Development is
available for Windows Mobile, and software can be purchased via the Windows Marketplace
for Mobile.
Originally appearing as the Pocket PC 2000 operating system, most Windows Mobile
devices come with a stylus pen, which is used to enter commands by tapping it on
the screen. Microsoft announced a completely new phone platform, Windows Phone 7,
at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on February 15, 2010. Phones running Windows
Mobile 6.x will not be upgradeable to version 7.
Windows Mobile's share of the Smartphone market has fallen year-on-year, decreasing
20% in Q3 2009. It is the 5th most popular smartphone operating system, with a 2%
share of the worldwide smartphone market (after Symbian, BlackBerry OS, Android
and iPhone OS). In the United States, it is the 3rd most popular smartphone operating
system for business use (after BlackBerry OS and iPhone OS), with a 24% share among
enterprise users.
