Microsoft offers Windows Mobile 7 preview

Inside Microsoft has offered up some details on their newest mobile operating system, Windows Mobile 7. Of course, Microsoft is now playing catch-up to Apple’s revolutionary touch interface and is also introducing new ways to interact with mobile devices, namely my rotating and shaking the device, and also (a feature set way too in the future) by camera-recognized gestures.

Another area that will get a much needed upgrade, will be Pocket Internet Explorer, where tabs are now utilized and websites will be displayed just like at a full screen PC, very similar to on the iPhone. Mobile browsing on Windows Mobile phones is tedious and hopefully Microsoft will improve on this area.
