Now that the whole hype around the iPad is finally over we can focus on the next hot rumor in town. That’s Windows Mobile 7, in case you didn’t know it, the new mobile OS which is supposed to revive Microsoft’s mobile enterprise.

Windows Mobile 7 is expected to be officially unveiled at the MWC 2010 which is going to take place in Barcelona, Spain between 15-18 February 2010.

So far we know that Microsoft has confirmed talking about the new mobile OS this month and we also happen to know the new hardware requirements for the phones that are going to run Redmond’s “latest creation.”

It looks like Windows Mobile 7 has everything needed to fight well against the iPhone and most importantly against Android. Google’s OS is rapidly becoming one of the number one choices for various manufacturers and that makes it the most important threat for Windows Mobile 7 right now.

What we don’t know is what Windows Mobile 7 will actually look like. Sure we’ve seen various rumored screenshots of Windows Mobile 7 early versions in action but they were never confirmed. We also have no idea as of what new features will the new OS bring, but at least we heard today that native multitouch support is definitely included.

The screenshots you’re looking at come courtesy of Jeremiah Whitaker, a freelance designer that has been working on the UX design of Windows Mobile 7. NDAs agreements which he had to sign in order to be able to work on Windows Mobile 7 prevent him for actually sharing all the details of his work. But the screenshots here are part of his portfolio and they clearly show pinch-zoom movements that definitely indicate multitouch support.

We will be waiting for more leaked screenshots depicting Windows Mobile 7 in the following weeks. After all Microsoft should be able to build enough buzz around Windows Mobile 7 this year. They surely need all the attention they can get.
