Quanta picks Soleus platform for new high-end device
Yeah, it's Windows. Doesn't look much like Windows Mobile though, does it? That's 'cause it's not -- Intrinsyc's Soleus platform is a new software stack for phones based on Windows CE, not Windows Mobile, and the company has scored a huge win in signing up mega-ODM Quanta. The firm has committed to using Soleus to produce some sort of HSDPA device that is "expected to be a breakthrough in the design concept and user experience of today's wireless communications electronics" when it launches some time in the third quarter of next year. That sounds like a little bit of PR spin to us, but hey, if it means we get a totally fresh skin atop Microsoft's mobile core, we're all about it.

Don't forget that Windows Mobile is always one generation behind the CE edition since its built on the last gen Windows CE. This is good news.

Why the F*** doesn't M$ just combine both WM and Windows CE so that both markets get equal advantage. Or keep them seperate but base them off of the same technology. Not off of one's older technology.
