Microsoft Not Abandoning Windows Mobile 6.5 Platform

Anything but, in fact. It’s reported that Microsoft will not be abandoning the Windows Mobile 6.5 platform, but rather just rebranding it to “Windows Phone 6 Starter Edition” for more business oriented devices, such as the Motorola MC55. Social networking, music, and youtube are attractive features to an average user. But to a business it may in fact not only be unneeded, but unwanted, as it may bring distractions from work.
