Windows Mobile 6.5 has been spotted running on HTC devices before, but this is different – this is Windows Mobile 6.5 in the wild, complete with its all-new honeycomb app launcher.

It’s designed to bring Windows Mobile devices up to the standards of the iPhone for easy app access, and if rumours are to be believed, app installation.

But what’s the hardware running it? It’s the Exeda, a new business phone which packs a mini trackpad, left and right click buttons, and even an ethernet port and two USB connections.

Its makers say they installed Windows Mobile 6.5 “to demonstrate just how friendly to developers exeda is,” and that the new OS, which is still in its Alpha phase of development, was installed “the same day it was released.”

We’re expecting more Windows Mobile 6.5 announcements from Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer next month. Stay tuned for more as we hear it.

    Windows Mobile 6.5 catching up to the iPhone easy app access!

    Apple would never choose a name ‘exeda’ (or Zune) for anything. And it would not go for the word ‘pig’ in branding either…
    cheers!

    Azazello: You don’t think the honeycomb looks easier than the start menu? Interesting… you must have very dainty fingers!
