It is a few hours ago hardly that the new version of the operating system of Microsoft for machines of pocket was announced officially. For the occasion, Bill Gates in person made displacement in Mobility Developer Conference of San Fransisco where it presented this Second Edition during a speech. "Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition", a denomination which voluntarily preserves the name of the odd version of the operating system so that the intentions of Microsoft are clear for all. It was here about an extension to Windows mobile 2003 whose improvements made before are very intended to make it possible to the manufacturers to propose innovations, in opposition to numbers of version pairs, generally announcing the addition of new functionalities for the users. PocketPCParadise proposes to you to review the various innovations integrated into that revision of the operating system which equips our Pocket PC.
From portait to landscape
As waited, one of the major improvements directly perceptible by the user is the total support of VGA in all the screens of the operating system, with the possibility of passing from the portrait mode to the landscape mode without soft reset (in a direction or the other), without requiring a restarting of the machine of pocket.
A possibility of change of orientation of the screen also allowed in QVGA, a simple pressure on a button or an option of menu. A dynamic adjustment of the orientation of the screen applicable to the models of Pocket PC managing VGA (Toshiba e800, Asus A730) but also to Pocket PC managing only QVGA (iPAQ, Dell, XDA, etc).
Square screens
The new version of OS can also manage the square screens (240*240 or 480*480) and opens the door with the nearest appearance of specialized mobile machines, of which part of the frontage could then be equipped with a micro keyboard facilitating the seizure.
Actually each pixel of the 240*320 mode is quadrupled to correspond to 4 pixels in 480*640 mode. This function is used on machines VGA, for example the e800 of Toshiba which after this update Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition will function only in VGA for the greatest pleasure of the users. More need (and more possible besides) to pass in QVGA since the Doubling Pixel is given the responsability to carry out correctly applications not VGA in Simple and practical VGA.

Pixel Doubling
This particular aptitude of the operating system is intended for the machines VGA which carry out software not supporting the 480*640 and makes it possible in some kinds "to stretch" the 240*320 applications so that they are carried out in full screen even in 480*640 mode.
Short cut via Transcriber
The users resulting from the Palm world will be able to appreciate, Microsoft Transcriber for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition henceforth allows to memorize short cuts. This largely facilitates the seizure of the words or expressions which frequently return as "Go" or why not a formula of courtesy, etc.
As soon as the user traces short cuts with the stylet, its equivalent is sought and retranscribed automatically with the screen. This facility of Transcriber to memorize the short cuts can also be used for launching applications. In short, it is possible to memorize 3 types of short cuts under Transcriber: text, functions or launching of applications.
Better management of the bills of character in VGA

In the same way, personalization by application in Pocket Internet To explore, Pocket Excel and Pocket Word from now on is allowed.

From now on, an option does not make it possible to make hold posting on only one column, not requiring any more but one vertical elevator.
