The latest build of Windows Mobile 6.5, version 21925, has leaked, showing Microsoft’s latest attempts to accommodate fingertip control on the platform.

There’s also talk of a new, OS-based A-GPS system, rather than using the carriers’ servers. Finally, it’s said to be built on CE5.2 and CE6, possibly demanding new bootloaders in the process.
