Platform Naming Convention in Windows Mobile 6
With the introduction of Windows Mobile 6, the SKU taxonomy and naming has been changed to better align the brand and products with the realities of today’s mobile device marketplace. The historical, form-factor based difference between Smartphone and Pocket PC Phone Edition is blurring significantly. The goal is to update terminology to better reflect the evolution of the mobile device industry.
The following table summarizes the changes:
Previous Categories |
New Categories |
|---|---|
Windows Mobile for Pocket PC |
Windows Mobile 6 Classic |
Windows Mobile for Pocket PC Phone Edition |
Windows Mobile 6 Professional |
Windows Mobile for Smartphone |
Windows Mobile 6 Standard |
Developers should refer to these new names in all instructions, packaging, and advertising to ensure a consistent naming convention is presented to end users.
Note
References to the older naming conventions may still appear in developer documentation.
