        Microsoft has produced a video demonstrating seven Windows Mobile 6.0 devices "for your shopping list." Created by Jason Langridge, aka "Mr. Mobile," the company's Enterprise Mobile Solution Specialist and well-known blogger, the video also demonstrates Live Search and the "Neo" interface Microsoft created for...


        T-Mobile.

        Most of the seven-minute video is devoted to the Windows Mobile 6.0 devices selected as being most notable by Langridge. It also spends some screen time showing off the use of a phone being employed as a wireless modem for a laptop. Even most Microsoft employees are unware this can be done, says Langridge, adding that connections can be made at up to 7.2Mbits/sec. depending on the device.

        The demonstration of the T-Mobile Shadow is of particular interest since it shows a custom user interface created by Microsoft (shown at the right) for the carrier. According to Langridge and other Microsoft bloggers, the company also created the interface used by Vodafone on the Palm Treo 500V. Both developments represent a departure for Microsoft, which once hailed the standardized user interface as a selling point for Windows Mobile devices.
