Windows Mobile Loses Features With Each Upgrade???
Windows Mobile 6.5 in 2009? Windows Phone 7 Series in 2010? Nope. I wrote this back in November 2006. Here are the lost features I noted way back then:
ActiveSync over Ethernet
Microsoft Access Database Importation
Printing (with add-on driver)
Microsoft Reader
Creating a Media Player Playlist on the Device Itself
Ability to Manually Disconnect from ActiveSync while connected over USB
AvantGo Reader in firmware
Menus at the bottom of the screen (replaced by two giant soft-buttons)
Ability to add to Tasks on the device (Smartphone)
Ability to encrypt Word or Excel documents/spreadsheets
Backup entire device to PC using ActiveSync
Pocket Money (add-on Microsoft application)
Pocket Streets (add-on Microsoft application)
In June 2007, I noted that Windows Mobile 6 lost yet another feature:
WORK SMARTER - LEARN, GROW AND BE INSPIRED.
