Windows Mobile being rebranded as Windows and Windows Phone?

With few hours for the Mobile World Congress to start, we already have snaps of Microsoft stand and Windows Mobile banners showing up. Microsoft is expected to announce various mobile offerings and also unveil its newer version of Windows Mobile, which is Windows Mobile 6.5 at the Mobile World Congress.

There is one thing to note once you see these snaps, a very important thing

Below are some snaps

As you may have guessed it already, its Windows and not Windows Mobile in those banners!

Is Microsoft rebranding their Windows Mobile to Windows and call it Windows Phone?

You may ask me from where I got the term Windows Phone, just look in the picture below

And a closer look

It would be really nice to see the rebranding, but after these long years of Windows Mobile, calling it Windows Phone would be very different. Atleast we wont have Windows CE, Pocket PC, Smartphone anymore!

No wonder, the newly announced web syncing service from Microsoft for Windows Mobile recently is called as MyPhone

Do you think a rebranding is necessary at this stage?
