Windows Mobile seven may be closer than lots of feel.According to a report from a minimum of one significant handset maker, Microsoft is organizing to make out there the ultimate bits of its next cellular operating-system release in time for them to start promoting Windows Mobile seven phones within the first quarter of 2009. If accurate, that would seem to imply that Microsoft will release the last Windows Cellular seven by the end of 2008, in order to give telephone makers time for you to test and preload.As could be the situation with Windows 7, Windows Mobile seven is really a forbidden topic. Microsoft won;t speak about planned attributes,
Microsoft Office 2010, beta dates or how/when/if Windows Cellular phones will turn out to be more head-to-head opponents using the iPhone.(I'm questioning no matter whether Microsoft might finally share some Windows Cellular 7 info at its Worldwide Spouse Conference in early July, offered that Andy Lees, the recently appointed Senior VP of Microsoft;s Cellular Communications enterprise is on the keynote line-up. If Microsoft definitely is going to provide the ultimate Windows Cellular 7 bits later this yr, one would think it requirements to be evangelizing about this now.)There have already been some leaks about what Microsoft is planning for Windows Cellular seven and Windows Cellular 8. Not as well remarkably, multi-touch and gesture-recognition assistance are about the docket. The consumer interface for Windows Cellular phones is slated to obtain an overhaul, creating it extra consumer pleasant. And, sooner or later, consumer-focused solutions over and above Windows Live — things like music and photo-management, will find their way onto Windows Cellular devices via Microsoft;s Project Pink and Danger acquisition.Until now, the only target date for Windows Cellular seven I had seen leak was “some time in 2009.” But the Telephone Report earlier this week quoted an official with HTC saying the enterprise planned to deliver a Windows Cellular seven phone in Q1 2009, and an Android-based HTC phone in Q4 2008, through the way.From recent executive remarks, it sounds like Microsoft is trying to get Windows and Windows Cellular to get additional in sync. Could possibly this mean with Windows Mobile 8 — which Microsoft has told certain folks could be built from scratch — Microsoft may well make Windows Mobile a “real” version of Windows, together with the same core as Windows client?
