[Q] Will Windows Mobile 6.1 / 6.5 Apps work ?

Hi guys,
Over the years as a Windows mobile fan, i have acumalated quite a large amound of Windows Mobile 6.1 / 6.5 Apps / games etc.. I know they have almost always worked on both 6.1 and 6.5 but will this be the case for Windows Mobile 7 ?
Are my collection of apps etc.. any good ?
Thanks

WM 6 or older apps won't work on Windows Phone 7. There is no backwards compatibility.
Consider WP7 not as "Windows Mobile 7", next generation of WM, but something completely new.

Exactly. It's not Windows Mobile 7 but Windows Phone 7.

So this would mean everything new from scratch, but i'm sure new apps and stuff should start coming out for it considerably quick right?
I'm a bit of a app/game freak love to customise my gadgets, loved the CHT UI for my HD2 so would love it if something like that was available for Windows Phone 7.
I want to but the HD7, but at really attached to my beloved HD2 and all the apps and custom stuff i have done to it, i'm sure you know what i mean and how i feel.
Thanks for the replies very much appreciated.

There will be lots of apps and especially games for WP7.
However, there will not be any sort of home screen customization/hacking. Maybe eventually but it will only come in the way of hacked firmware and will not be officially supported (this is no different than CHT though).

[Q] windows phone 7 as modem

Hi All,
My Win Mo 6.5 (HTC HD2) had a wonderful feature of being a modem.
the best thing that it was faster than my land line broadband
Does windows phone 7 have that feature?
thanks

If I remember right, WP7 doesn't have it yet, but Samsung have said their phones will have it even if Microsoft doesn't implement it.
If you search "Windows Phone 7 tethering" (+ "Samsung") you'll probably find the details you want.

Not yet but hopefully Microsoft will add this feature.

[Q] Windows Mobile 6 Apps on Windows Phone 7?

Hi !
As far as I know, beneath Windows Phone 7 there is basically still Windows CE running. So I'm wondering, is/may/will it be possible to run Windows Mobile 6 Apps on Windows Phone 7? Or do we already know that this can't happen because the underlying architecture is too different? Is anyone working on this?
For example, has anyone tried to copy a Windows Mobile 6 Filemanager to WP7 and run it somehow?
Best regards

I'm going to go with no here.... not only from all of the months and months and months of people saying no but from the simple fact that WP7 is based on silverlight which wm 6.1 and 6.5 aren't.... at all....
This is why aps aren't backwards OR forwards compatible which people put up a pretty big stink about when WP7 was announced but seems to have died down now that we're able to see what can actually be done with silverlight
So... no.. not compatible

Also, just think about the work to emulate the wm6 crappiness. Thousand of empty bucles, glitchy graphic rendering, millions of delays, agggg..
No, seriously. Windows Mobile was powerful, but it's just too old. It should be possible to emulate the applications (in theory everything is possible), but I think is just too much effort, and there is no such big reason to put resources on something like that.

Will you also be supporting Windows 7? Not all windows tablet users (such as people with Intel Atom N2600/N2800 chips) have the option to use Windows 8, and unless this is an RT app I can't see why you couldn't also make it work on 7...?

I've installed it on my Windows 8 X64 tablet and whe I run it, it just doesn't work. TouchPalToolBar is into process list but I can't call it in any way.
Any advice?
Edit: after a restart it works, but the Curve feature not. When I swipe on the keyboard appears the blue line but it doesn't write anything.

The version I downloaded from their website was in Chinese. Did not have an option for English. If you have the english version, please share it or link to where you downloaded it.

Installed this on my msi 110w tablet with windows 8 and it's all screwy...
It overlays on top of the stock keyboard (you can actually see both of them at the same time)... Then it has two different keyboard layouts, but one is unresponsive.... Then the swipe function doesn't work most of the time... If the keyboard is enabled on a browser, you can't scroll the page, so sometimes you end up typing "blind" because you can't see where on the page you're typing.

Classic view?

Hey guys,
I've just got a microsoft surface and this is my first ms tablet (all my devices are android). I was wondering if there's an app or a configuration to force the tablet to keep the classic windows view and start button always on.
