Windows Mobile 7 Demo at MWC 2010
Techtree News Staff, Jan 27, 2010 1823 hrs ISTDetails about mobile phone lineup that Microsoft is working on may also be shared
Microsoft's next major launch on the mobile front is Windows Mobile 7 and has been anticipated later this year. Some 'sources' informed CNET that Microsoft will show its upcoming Windows Mobile 7 at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2010 at Barcelona that starts next month. Earlier this month, we reported that Robbie Bach, president for Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices Division, confirmed that Windows Mobile 7 would be shown at the MWC.
Windows Mobile 7 has been heavily anticipated, especially after the launch of Windows Mobile 6.5 at the MWC 2009. Microsoft is deemed to release Windows Mobile 7 after a year's gap. Apart from Windows Mobile 7, Microsoft is also rumored to share details about the speculative mobile phone line up it is working on.
Earlier dubbed as Pink phones, that are codenamed Turtle and Pure, maybe shown at the MWC 2010 convention. Not to forget, HTC has recently bumped the memory in its new HD2 in T-Mobile exclusive version. Obviously, along with Windows Mobile 7, Microsoft would be expected to throw some light on Zune integration in it.
Long Zheng noted on his blog iStartedsomething that Zune software update's .inf file in driver package carries some details about associating Zune Devices. One such Zune devices listed is a phone. We actually checked the Zune.inf file located in Program Files>Zune>Drivers>Zune folder after installing Zune software and found that Zheng's correct.
Three different phone hardware with different PIDs (0640, 0641 and 0642) at the end of the string where %Phone.DeviceDesc% is listed. As per Zheng's theory, all three would be different phone models and not just different in terms of capacity like Zune HD device. Doesn't this USB pondering remind us of the classic squabble between Palm and Apple over Pre's Media Sync feature?
Unless something is severely wrong with Windows Mobile 7, there can't be any other legible reason for Microsoft to delay the much deserved update.
