are all applications running on windows mobile 5 are compatible with windows mobile 6?
i\’ve a O2 XDA atom which has windows mobile pocket computer version 5. I had also installed certain apps on it, I am planning to buy a new phone with windows mobile 6, will I be able to run my old apps on a new phone?
Yes – if you buy a Windows Mobile Professional device (ie .. with a touch screen).
If you buy a Windows Mobile Standard device (non-touch screen) your Pocket PC applications won’t work.
Windows Mobile 6 Professional is basically just a prettied up version of Windows Mobile 5 for Pocket PC. I’ve never encountered Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC software that won’t work on a WM6 Pro device.
Also – in “most” cases, you can run Pocket PC 2003 software and in some cases Pocket PC 2002.
