Windows Mobile 7 at MWC 2010?
Techtree News Staff, Jan 11, 2010 1224 hrs ISTMWC might give us the first glimpse of the OS at work
Many of us here thought that the CES 2010 might have been the perfect occasion for Microsoft to introduce its next generation Mobile OS, Windows Mobile 7, to the rest of the world. However, at CES Microsoft chose to talk about is desktop related stuff and of course about gaming, with its project Natal. With the CES drawing to a close, all hopes are pinned on the MWC (Mobile World Congress) that is scheduled in the second week of February.
And this time it's not just a "rumor" or a hope that the OS might actually be revealed, as we have some sort of official confirmation. Folks over at ZDNET have managed to catch up with the President of Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices Division, Robbie Bach, who has given a clear hint that the MWC wouldn't actually be Windows Mobile 7 free. Although a full-fledged launch might not happen, the MWC might give us the first glimpse of the OS at work.
Robbie Bach being a very lucky man has confirmed that he has "played with Windows Mobile 7" and said that the OS can "set the bar forward not in (just) an evolutionary way" and that this edition would be far more consumer friendly as compared to the more "business like" look of existing and earlier versions of Windows Mobile.
As of now, we are still unsure when the first Windows Mobile 7 handset will be released. What we know, however, is that it is set to happen this very year.
