Windows Mobile 7 Coming to MWC 2010?
![Windows Mobile 7 Coming to MWC 2010? [Microsoft to Showcase Windows Mobile 7 in February According to Rumors]](http://tftscdn4.nexus404.com/Blog/thumbnailimages/alt/windows-mobile-7-microsoftTFTSThumb220153.jpg)
Well, this is totally unexpected is it? I mean sure we all want to see Windows Mobile 7 in action and kicking butt. After all, as much as we love Android, we can’t let it take over the mobile world that easily, can we? Yesterday’s rumors said that Windows Mobile 7 might be too shy to be presented at MWC 2010. Today we find out that the new mobile OS from Redmond might be indeed showcased next month.
Naturally Microsoft will not confirm anything, and why would they? But with iPhone 4.0 supposedly coming in the near future, and with Android being on everyone’s lips, Steve Ballmer and Co. simply have to step up and show us something. People say that Windows Mobile 6.6 aka the Maldives is coming at MWC 2010 and it’s bringing native capacitive touchscreen support. Well we’re happy for that but version 6.6 will simply not do. We need more; we need better stuff than that!
Even if Windows Mobile 7 will only be launched in December 2010, it will be a mistake not to present it now. Windows Mobile enthusiasts will surely want to know that their favorite OS in the whole wide world is on track for a 2010 release.
Today’s rumors also talk about some of the features of the new mobile OS. Windows Mobile 7 is supposed to bring us gesture control just like we’re going to see in Project Natal, also from Micrsoft, later this year. Furthermore, in order to take advantage of Windows Mobile 7 you will have to get a new phone with better hardware ready to support the new OS.
Well isn’t that a nice trick for convincing manufacturers to make some hot new devices for us. That way both Microsoft and the manufacturers will benefit financially. And hopefully future Windows Mobile 7 customers will also get some great and properly functional gadgets.
Here’s what future Windows Mobile 7 phones should offer:
ARM v6+ processor, with an Open GL ES 2.0-capable graphics chip-this may be the TI3430 or the Nvidia Tegra. To show all the eye candy there will be a 3.5″ 800 x 480 or 854 x 480 pixels touchscreen. The specification also points out at other things in Pink, like 3-megapixel camera, GPS, light sensor, 3-axis compass, accelerometer, USB, Bluetooth, and full Wi-Fi support.
Anyone excited?

Windows Mobile is a complete debacle.
They will have Windows Mobile 7 to show in February, then they won’t have WM7 to show in February, then they will have it again.
It’s just a fiasco. The other phone platforms don’t go through these painful drawn-out on-off displays. Microsoft has got to just release something, or go away. It can’t keep turning up at phone conferences and telling the audience you’ll have to wait until next time to see what we’ve got.
My confidence in Windows Mobile has hit rock bottom. I predict the platform will soon be discontinued.
