Introducing Windows Phone 7 Series
Over at Engadget, they have full coverage of MWC and the introduction of Windows Phone 7 Series. Damn, this looks interesting, expect to see it during the Holiday season of 2010...
Now, will this be ported to other aging devices when released by Microsoft by the extra-ordinary people at xda-developers? You betcha!
But will it run on older devices? Don't know, chances are even on my HTC Touch Pro, I doubt it. I would say, it may need a processor faster than 500Mhz or at least 1Ghz....
Only time will tell....

Windows Mobile updates
Over at pocketnow.com, there's some rumours about Windows Mobile 7 which Microsoft will unveil at the Mobile World Congress. Will it be true the rumour about no multitasking in WM7/WM phone? No muliti-masking?
WMExperts has done a nice recap of the latest Windows Mobile 6.5.3:
Ease of Use
- Capacitive touchscreen support
- Platform to enable multi-touch
- Touch controls throughout system (no need for stylus)
- Consistent Navigation
- Horizontal scroll bar replaces tabs (think settings>system>about screen)
- Magnifier brings touch support to legacy applications
- Simplified out-of-box experience with fewer steps
- Drag and drop icons on Start Screen
- Page load time decreased
- Memory management improved
- Pan & flick gestures smoothed
- Zoom & rotation speed increased
- Updated runtime tools (.NET CF 3.5, SQL CE 3.1)
- Arabic read/write document support
- Watson (error reporting) improvements and bug fixes
I may not use Windows Mobile 7/Windows Phone if the rumours were true and my Touch Pro goes belly up.
Say it ain't so Microsoft!
