Microsoft to Announce Windows Mobile 7 On Feb. 15

Feb 12, 2010, 11:43 AM by Eric M. Zeman

According to sources cited by the Wall Street Journal, Microsoft will announce the next version of its Windows Phone platform at Mobile World Congress next week in Barcelona. The Journal's sources say, "The operating system sports a revamped user interface that resembles the look of Microsoft's Zune HD music player and is designed for devices with touch-sensing screens." No more details about the OS were shared. Microsoft only recently admitted to the existence of WinMo 6.5.3, a stop-gap between WinMo 7 and WinMo 6.5, which was introduced in October 2009. WinMo 6.5.3 hasn't officially reached the market yet.

The answer to.... "what makes Android look like a well organized platform"

Windows Mobile is in its current state unbelievably bad- it's like an also-ran of also-rans. It's always been pretty much unusable- the fact it once took 7 taps just to kill an app so you could check your email blows my mind.

2) Slap on another layer of pig lipstick.

Let's hope if nothing else they at least add in a decent web browser (highly unlikely, Windows 7 doesn't even get one) decent media player (likely), sy...
