Microsoft to "launch" Windows Mobile 6.5 next month

According to a post on the Microsoft Developer Network that was made a week and a half ago, Microsoft is set to "launch" Windows Mobile 6.5 at the Tech Ed 2009 event. Tech Ed takes place in Los Angeles and runs from May 11 through May 15.

As to what exactly a Windows Mobile 6.5 "launch" entails, we don't know. The smartphone operating system was officially unveiled during the Mobile World Congress event that took place this past February. Perhaps the company is planning to show the final version of the system, which has still been going through changes since the February showing.

There is also the possibility that we will see some sort of device launch to coincide with Tech Ed, but Microsoft has made no mention of such as of yet.
