Vista Gadgets on Windows Mobile According to Windows Mobile's Program Manager	By Sergiu Gatlan, Communications News Editor 27th of February 2007, 16:04 GMT Adjust text size:


Lots of people are amazed at the iPhone's features that enable it to run Mac OS X widgets and have probably thought about themselves being capable to migrate the Vista gadgets they have on the OS sidebar (or scattered across their home desktop) onto their Pocket PCs running Windows Mobile. If this is your case you can take a break, relax and stop trying to do it on yourself because, according to Mel Sampat, which is a Windows Mobile Program Manager, Microsoft is already working on it. The word spread around the web beginning with Laura Foy's article on the on10.net website, which has attached a video demonstration of how the program developed by Mel Sampat and his team works like. At the moment, from what we can see and as Sampat says, this software is only a proof of concept and it isn't capable of running the gadgets on the home screen of the Pocket PC device (only on separate windows) but, again as he mentioned, they are working on it to make it look good and to be ready for a future public release (to be read as bug-free as possible). The demonstration has been made on a HTC Wizard Pocket PC phone, a handset running a Windows Mobile 6.0 operating system, this meaning the Microsoft Vista Gadget Mobile runner will surely be compatible with Microsft newly released mobile OS. Its compatibility with older versions of Windows Mobile hasn't been acknowledged by any Microsoft officials but there are no reasons why this couldn't be achieved. In conclusion, it seems that Microsoft does care about its users and wants them to have everything possible so they will not be tempted to wander on Apple grounds just because they can't run the gadgets they love so much on their mobile devices.
