Windows Mobile 6.1 is out, and it's kind of the same as the old one.

We heard whisperings about an update to Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system at the beginning of the year. Now that it's released, we can finally see if Microsoft has been listening to our collective groaning about how un-intuitive previous versions have been. CNET.com.au has been told with good authority not to expect Windows Mobile 6.1 phones in Australia until August, but that doesn't mean we can't take a peek now.

      It's been a long time coming but finally Nokia has a sexy touchscreen phone. Although, does it have what it takes to make us look away from the ever-alluring iPhone?
