Windows Mobile 7 Gets Confirmed by Microsoft Official Announcement Expected for March 2010

As much as some Windows Mobile lovers will defend their Windows Mobile
6.5 handsets I imagine they re waiting for the real thing just as much
as the rest of us. Windows Mobile 7 is everyone s fantasy, including
Microsoft. Redmond has admitted in the past that it would have liked to
have Windows Mobile 7 out sooner but that wasn t possible.
I am not saying I ll go for a Windows Mobile 7 phone the moment they
become available but I certainly am more interested in the next mobile
OS from Microsoft. And I dare to say that Microsoft s future OS version
will be a spectacular one. Redmond can t afford not to have a winner
mobile platform. Android is more and more popular, iPhones and
BlackBerry handsets are dominating the smartphone business and even
Samsung is cooking its own mobile OS. Let s not forget that other major
players like Nokia and Palm are fixing and tweaking their operating
systems so with all that in mind I ll say it again: Windows Mobile 7 has
to be spectacular.
The new Windows Mobile version is supposed to arrive at the MIX 2010
conference net March but we expect to hear more about the new OS early
next year. The launch date has been confirmed by Microsoft Office Vice
President Kurt Delbene, which is a little strange. You d normally expect
a guy like Steve Ballmer to make such an announcement.
What s even more interesting is that Microsoft has posted a shot of the
Windows Mobile new interface on the Office 2010 beta site and the
pictures look similar with what we ve seen around the Internet earlier
this year.
Did Microsoft let everything slip out by mistake or was this a well
coordinated �attack �? As much as I do believe that Microsoft happens
to make various mistakes, like Windows Vista for example, I think that
this confirmation has been intentionally made. There s too much talk
about Android and other mobile OS these days and Windows Mobile is
barely noticeable despite s Microsoft s efforts to build buzz around it
and around the recently tuned Marketplace. Did it work? Well everyone
will be talking about Windows Mobile 7 today, won t they?
So, Microsoft, we expect to be dazzled, so make sure that your Windows
Mobile 7 OS is spectacular!
