I have ask this before and will again..Why would anybody buy Windows Mobile 6.5 when Windows 7 Phone Series is so close at hand? Also why waste money developing a Windows 6.5 Mobile device.

At CTIA, a tablet with a 7 inch screen was spotted with Windows Mobile 6.5.3 under the hood. Clearly the OS is not designed to run on a tablet. It might sound ridiculous but it does look tempting to use.

The manufacturer of this tablet is Mangrove, the tablet is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 1GHz processor with 512MB of ROM and 256MB of RAM, which we think is quite enough if you’re just going to use the tablet for Internet surfing and maybe some IM’ing as well.

But for those who have used WinMo 6.5 handsets, you’ll find this tablet rather strange, but I’m quite certain that this thing won’t hit the shelves any time soon, but it’s always nice to see something experimental or unique isn’t it?

WMExperts have published this short video of the Mangrove Windows Mobile 6.5 tablet in action, and while the device appears very responsive, the user interface is clearly designed for a lot smaller screens. One does wonder however if the new Windows Phone 7 UI would suite the 7 inch screened 1 Ghz Snapdragon device better
