why "mobile 6" subforums?

[jimspoon]

I notice that the device-specific forums often have a "mobile 6" subforum. My device is a T-Mobile Wing, so I see a "Herald" subforum and a "Herald Mobile 6" subforum. What does "Mobile 6" refer to? If it refers to Windows Mobile 6, I thought all Heralds/Wings were WM6+ devices?

Just trying to understand what the two subforums are for. Searched for an explanation but had no luck.

Yes they're Win Mo 6 forums. IIRC (maybe have to ask an older mod, I joined with a Wizard, and didn't start posting til I had my Kaiser), the Herald was a WM5 device, so WM6 forums were added to support it's development on it.

The forums may seem obsolete now, but they were probably required in their day. And removing forums is always hard work :).

Thanks, Dave. People continue to post all kinds of topics in both subforums, so I'll have to keep an eye on both. Just a minor annoyance.
