Looks like another setback for Windows Mobile 7, as another rumored delay will push the launch date back to “late 2010″. Windows Mobile 7 is the much delayed follow up to the less-than-impressive Windows Mobile 6. We’ve been hearing potential launch dates that go back to 2008.
According to Microsoft UK head of mobility Phil Moore:
“It has been put back until late next year but it is definitely coming. You’re going to see a lot more on Windows Mobile 7. Giving the enterprise users and consumers what they want will be part of Windows Mobile 7. You’ll get flexibility on a much easier touch UI.”
Meanwhile, Google employees are “dogfooding”, a term they use to describe eating your own dog food first via a mobile device running Android 2.1 test software and is supposedly “like the iPhone on beautifying steroids.” Their GPhone now confirmed to be real and to be available unlocked so Google can completely control the software/hardware experience. HTC is building the phone for Google.
The iPhone marches on new lands, opening China and Korea in recent months widening the devices appeal. The App Store continues to be the hot fashion for branding your company with over 100,000 apps expected to triple in two years time.
If only one thing is clear, Windows Mobile 7 will have a lot of ground to make up.
Put a fork in them; their done.
Great news couldn't happen to a nicer company and well deserved.
