A source says the update *can* happen via the Win update but won't due to carrier-restrictions...

Will the Mogul get 6.1? Tough call. As I mentioned in the PPC News thread on this topic, 6.1 adds a lot of functionality for remote admin and IT control over networked WM devices e.g. force wipe, lock down of cameras, etc.

So 6.1 is mostly for enterprise udpates and Exchange 2007 extended support--and like all semi-major updates, some UI changes will be there too.

I can see HTC/Sprint rolling out 6.1 as it is a major boon for business and the 6800 is not getting replaced anytime soon. But honestly, we'll just have to wait and hear.

And devices are not scheduled to ship with 6.1 till I believe Q2 of 2008 (May).
