MIX09: Windows Mobile 6.5 shows more polish

During the opening day of Microsofts MIX09 conference yesterday, Loke Uei Tan - senior product manager for Windows Mobile gave a presentation titled Windows Mobile 6.5 overview where he showed off one of the latest builds of the OS running on a HTC Touch Pro.

This 3-minute long demo includes sights of the new chrome (lists, scrollbar, menu), lock screen, Today screen and Start menu, all of which seems to be more polished than earlier demos at the Mobile World Congress announcement. Performance seems to be much improved and the UI seems more responsive...

More polished, but sadly it doesn't look very snappy... I mean for Windows.M it looks decent enough, but I'm really looking forward to the days when WM phones provide instant response to input. That 0.1-0.3 seconds of lag is pretty irritating after a while...
