TheInquirer reported that Microsoft will re-brand it’s famous mobile platform Windows Mobile to be Windows Phone. The unofficial announcement happened at an event where the company showcased upcoming products. The new name will be applied to the Windows Mobile 6.1, 6.5 and the upcoming Windows Mobile 7.

Also reported that the Windows Phone (starting from Windows Mobile 6.5) will include the features like back-up of all SMS and email content into Vole’s cloud, remote disabling of the handset and an Itunes-alike Windows Mobile repository called Market Place.

Well this is likely to be true. The video below shows Steve Ballmer talking about the Windows Phone in the Mobile World Congress 2009 in Barcelona, Spain few months ago.

Another video campaign from the Mobile World Congress 2009 below also use the term Windows Phone. So, goodbye Windows Mobile and welcome the Windows Phone.
