What's New in Naming Conventions for Windows Mobile 6
4/12/2010
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 distinction between Smartphone and Pocket PC Phone Edition is blurring dramatically, and the goal is to update terminology to evolve to better reflect the evolution of the mobile device industry.
The table below summarizes the changes:
| Previous Categories | New Categories |
|---|---|
Windows Mobile for Pocket PC |
Windows Mobile Classic |
Windows Mobile for Pocket PC Phone Edition |
Windows Mobile Professional |
Windows Mobile for Smartphone |
Windows Mobile Standard |
**The Windows Mobile SDKs reflects these changes in the naming of "Project Templates" and "Emulator Images".
Note
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 this release of the developer documentation.
