Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows has been keeping everyone up to speed on how the next version of Windows, codenamed "Longhorn", will look. He put up one screen shot yesterday that may be of particular interest to Pocket PC and Smartphone users.

No details were given. It could be that there is going to be a general synchronization service built into Longhorn and Microsoft would release specs to OEMs of all products to just plug into. That would mean that for all devices, Palm, Pocket PC, cell phones, MP3 players, etc. that one sync manager does the whole thing, which would be nice. Pure speculation though. The only downside is Longhorn isn't due until sometime in 2005.
