Microsoft to Unveil New Mobile OS Next Week

News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - May 06, 2005

cNet is reporting that Microsoft will introduce the next generation of their mobile software next week. Windows Mobile 5, code-named Magneto is the latest attempt by Microsoft to take on the wireless industry.

Recent reports have indicated that the Symbian OS has the obvious majority share of the cell phone market, but don't count Microsoft out just yet. We all remember when Netscape owned 97% of the Internet browser market.

According to the report, new features in Magneto wil include an improved one-handed navigation of the device, a more powerful version of the mobile Word program, a viewer for PowerPoint documents and the ability to add photos to contacts allowing for photo caller ID.
