The video loaded fine for me, the UI seems kinda weird, but it is still early I suppose.

I loved this:
"Windows Mobile 6.5 devices should be hitting the shelves in late-2009 in time for Christmas."

Nice sense of urgency there, Microsoft.

So now that Ive actually seen the UI running, I really hope this is not anything like the final product. Hmmm...lets compare microsoft to apple and palm. Serioulsy. This is something a 3rd grader would design. There is no "cool" factor at all! If the pre gets video for verizon...im gone if this is the new interface...

The refreshed operating system carries all the hallmarks of former versions, but has now been redesigned to include a honeycomb interface taking key inspiration from the company’s Zune MP3 player optimised for the touch of a finger rather than frantic stylus poking.
From your locked device you’ll now have a drop-down menu giving you shortcuts into the most frequent functions, such as messages or missed calls.
"Part of the new Windows Phone is that there will be a unified look", Microsoft said. "Manufacturer’s will not be able to customise the interface as much as they have done in the past however will be able to make slight alterations here and there".
The news is likely to affect companies like Sony Ericsson, HTC and Toshiba who have in the past focused on customisation to make the Windows Mobile experience very different from what Microsoft supply.
"We have a very strong relationship with Microsoft", John Wang, the chief marketing officer for HTC told Pocket-lint when asked what HTC was planning on doing with the news, suggesting that HTC may be allowed a bit more leeway than other parties.
A new version of Internet Explorer will also be introduced, which Microsoft boldly claim will negate the need for a third-party browser. “We want to make sure that our browser has the best out of the box experience”, Microsoft told Pocket-lint.
Windows Mobile 6.5 devices should be hitting the shelves in late-2009 in time for Christmas.
