Although Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition brought some important improvements to the Pocket PC platform, Microsoft has not yet made the myriad of other changes to the operating system people have been hoping for.

However, it is beginning to seem that the next version of this operating system, code-named Magneto, will bring some significant improvements.

It has been known for some time that this will be based on Windows CE 5.0, while the current version is based on Windows CE 4.2.

Because of this change, Magneto will include Direct3D Mobile (D3DMobile), a graphics solution built on DirectX, Microsoft's desktop technology. This will allow Pocket PCs to offer even higher-performance graphics and multimedia, similar to a desktop experience.
