Windows Mobile 6.1 is here.

As previously rumored, Microsoft did make an announcement yesterday about the release of Windows Mobile 6.1 at CTIA 2008. "Windows Mobile is improving smartphones to better meet people's rapidly expanding work and personal needs, Microsoft Corp. today announced. At CTIA Wireless 2008, the company unveiled the newest version of Internet Explorer Mobile, which adds desktop-grade Web browsing to Windows Mobile phones. In addition, Microsoft announced Windows Mobile 6.1, an update for its Windows Mobile software that includes new time-saving features, easier phone navigation and management, and increased security safeguards".
Note that WM 6.1 is just a minor upgrade offering some nice improvements, most of which seems to be mostly for the Standard Edition of Windows Mobile. I list some of the new features below:
* Threaded SMS
* New home screen design using Sliding Panel for ease of access to
emails, music etc
* Getting Started application
* Multiple selection in Messaging
* Ability to turn on/off the "Show Recent programs".
* Copy/Paste feature for Standard edition
* Zoom feature in IE Mobile
