Hacked Windows Mobile 6.5 beta hits the web

The final version of Windows Mobile may not be ready to go until the second half of 2009, but an early beta version of the next generation operating system for cellphones and PDAs appears to made its way to some of the shadier areas of the internet. And a member of the XDA-Developers forum has figured out how to get it running on the HTC BlueAngel, which is a 5 year old mobile phone.

The video quality is best described as godawful. But it does show off some of the features of Windows Mobile 6.5. The operating system features Internet Explorer Mobile 8, and the OS is overall a bit more finger friendly.
