I posted about a Windows Mobile 6.1 rumour a while back but it now the Boy Genius Report has confirmed that 6.1 is alive and well with some screen shots of the new operating system.

Along with the obvious new interface there are several features:

1. Copy / Paste
2. Domain Enroll in Settings (Enrolling in a domain will connect your device with company resources.)
3. New home screen (pan left and right to check out missed calls, notifications like email, SMS, etc.)
4. Change Master Security Code
5. Added text input settings
6. Recent Programs when pressing Start menu
7. Threaded SMS
8. When you compose an email, or SMS, and start typing the name of the contact in the “To:” field, the contact names pop up

As many have already said Windows Mobile 6.1 will be an update not a totally new operating system and is due for release sometime in February and appearing on new devices in May.
