On that website it has a video and it shows a different today screen than the one that came with my 6.1 update for my Mogul/6800. How do I get that today screen?

well I could not view the video which you cited so not sure what it is you are trying to match. Are you seeing the sliding panel feature which is only available with windows 6.1 Standard?

Aw damit, nvm your right it is for Standard.

It looked good though.

no that's windows mobile 8. They will create a new OS with a better user experience. Windows Mobile 7 will only have a new look with new apps.

Seems like they would want to compete with the iphone?? It just seems like WM should be more finger friendly and less stylus... It is a big pain in the *** when I need the damn stylus... Doesn't happen too often, but that once in a while pisses me off.

I read some articles way back saying that not having a good user experience was their biggest disappointment with Windows Mobile. The Iphone has a great user experience that is why it's so noticeable.

There are 3rd party applications to help you out with the user experience but in the end it will take Microsoft a while for them to catch up by releasing an WM OS out of the box with a good user experience (WM "8" ).

As much as I hate to say this - That is why Apple is starting to move ahead... MS in my opinion is losing the race to Google and Apple and I hate Apple...
