Upgraded TyTN II to WM6.1, but...

...i can't see the Today screen enhancements. namely, the new scrolling ribbon. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get around this?

um, like, wait for WM7? Provided it gels with the Kaiser?
6.1 does have a few enhancements, granted, but your ribbon is not one of them. AFAIK, the scrolling ribbon is a feature of WM7, and of the SmartPhone flavour to boot, not of PocketPC.
If you pine for the ribbon, try some independent apps like Throttle Launcher, Ultimate Launch, PointUI, or suchlike.

Welcome aboard, by the way. Live long and prosper :)

If you saw the new "ribbon" feature in action by way of screenshots, then I must concur with the last poster and say that you were looking at WM 6.1 Standard (non-Touchscreen). WM 6.1 Professional (touchscreen) received mostly transparent (non-cosmetic) upgrades between 6 and 6.1.

thanks for all the replies guys. dang! i was hoping those screens were from the touchscreen version. I did have pointui on wm6 but it was a bit of a battery drainer. I was really hoping WM sorted things out: on the kaiser, without a third party app, you still can't get simple tasks like one click 'new sms' on the today screen or assigned to buttons. i have the HTC action screen installed for this purpose. was hoping to do without it.
