Better than iLaunch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Czz9yotdE8) (which runs on WM2003SE and up)?

I'm not quite sure I understand? iLaunch is a skin that makes the phone "look and feel" like an iPhone, and WM6.1 is a total rewrite of the operating system that adds a bunch of much needed features that were missing from things like Pocket Internet Explorer and Outlook.

Plus iLauncher is for WM pro devices and the current "leak" of WM6.1 photos is for the "standard" version of WM.

So yes, WM6.1 is "better" than iLauncher.

Internet Explorer is an application.
Outlook is an application.

Adding features to applications doesn't require a rewrite of the OS.

Besides, when an OS is a "total rewrite" it doesn't get a decimal appendage, it gets a new number - like WM5 to WM6. Six point one (if it exists at all) is a skin with some Vista and Office 2007 compatibility features tacked on.

I'm waiting for MSDN to announce a 6.1 SDK - but I don't expect one, because the API hasn't changed.

I looked at the 100 pictures, and I don't see how it differs from 6.0 which I've been using on my Dash since T-Mobile distributed it.
