It does make sense that Microsoft would try to bring their Windows Mobile Operating System on par with from a marketing aspect to their Windows PC Based Software. The integration would definitely be a shot in the arm for Windows Mobile who is looking forward to a Version 6.5 release this year instead of the full blown, revamped Windows Mobile 7 that we have been looking forward to. This move comes especially now that Windows 7 that has been been so well received by testers as the new Microsoft PC Operating System to replace the struggling Vista with.

From DigiTimes:

Microsoft, which is planning to unveil its Windows Mobile 6.5 platform at the Mobile World Congress soon, has decided that, going forward, Windows Mobile-based handsets will be promoted simply as Windows phones without specifying an OS version number, according to market sources in Taiwan.
