Less visible improvements are  improved browser performance for decreased load time, improved memory management, smoothed pan & flick gestures and speed improved zoom & rotation speed.  The OS now finally ships with .Net CF CF 3.5 and SQL CE 3.1 out of the box and supports Arabic document read and write.

With this update announcement out of the way, it leaves the way open for a much more significant release at Mobile World Congress, the long awaited Windows Mobile 7.
