Microsoft Corporation is expected to introduce a new edition of Windows Mobile on Monday at Mobile World Congress 2010.

Windows Mobile Starter Edition will be targeted at OEMs building devices for new and emerging markets. The software will be based on the current Windows Mobile 6 and come in two versions, one with Office Mobile and one without. Windows Mobile Starter Edition will also support 2G (GSM), 2.5G (EDGE, GPRS) and CDMA (Revision A, EV-DO Revision A) or TD-SCDMA. It is unclear as to whether 3G (GSM) will be supported.

The company is looking to broaden Windows Mobile licensing to a wider audience. Microsoft recently announced a partnership with MediaTek, the Taiwanese chipset vendor to drive growth in smart phone sales for emerging markets over the next 12 months. MediaTek has worked with Microsoft to couple its hardware with the Windows Mobile 6 software.

Microsoft will introduce the Windows Mobile 7 Series of devices during a press conference held by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at Mobile World Congress 2010.
