Most likely you’ve come across posts on the web that say that Microsoft has added a new feature to Windows Mobile 6.5 that, supposedly, makes it more finger friendly. These post are actually based on ROMs found on the XDA forums. What is it all about?
In Windows Mobile 6.1 and previous versions, you had to either use the finger to press or the stylus to switch tabs. For example, the Settings window has three tabs: Personal, System and Connection. You could only move between tabs with your finger and stylus. According to some websites, build 21925 does not have tabs anymore. that may be true. but that does not mean that the swipe feature was not there. In fact, it was since build 21234 even though the tabs were still there.
If build 21925 is really from Microsoft and not one developed by XDA, then Microsoft simply removed the tabs and added arrows at the top of the screen to indicate that it is possible to swipe to move to the right or left.
Don’t know if you will agree with me, but there is not much of an innovation here since that feature already existed in Windows Mobile 6.5 build 21234.
