So on m8 you will have WinCE6 + meizu UI shell+ meizu or third party apps (opera,...)
on WinMo7 phones, you will have WinCE6 + new microsoft WinMo UI shell + microsoft apps.

I disagree.

Gotta love msdn.
Zandoná Mobile® : Windows CE X Windows Mobile - what is the difference?

Just going to quote the conclusion.

Quote:

Windows Mobile is not Windows CE (and vice-versa), Windows Mobile has Windows CE as its core – WM 2003 was based on WinCE 4.x, WM 5.0 is based on WinCE version 5 – plus a standard shell, applications and APIs.

EDIT: Same blog - more about the topic.

I think there will be a lot of development for the M8.

Errr, haXXA...If I understand your post correctly, you agree with the quote from msdn, but you disagree with my post????

I am not a native english speaker, so I accept there may be a nuance that get over my head...In this case, may I ask you to enlighten me by explaining in details where I made a mistake? Because, from my understanding, the quote from msdn and my text could not be in more complete agreement

Just to clear things up, its the HTC Touch Pro. thanks

I'm sorry if we agree and I just didn't understand :P

I thought you disagreed with me about WinMo beeing a stripped down WinCE with stuff added

I just wanted to point out that you will not actually have WinCE6, even though it got the same core.

"Based on" is quite vital IMHO.
