The guys at MobileTechWorld appear to have got their hands on some WinMo 7 specs which includes talk that the browsing experience is currently "better/faster" than the iPhone 3G and that Microsoft is "aiming towards" the 3GS. While that all sounds impressive, we fully expect an iPhone 4 to be on the horizon by the time Windows Mobile 7 hits the streets.
PPCGeeks believes they have come across similar WinMo 7 details which they describe as "truly amazing information" regarding the mobile OS update.
It seems while we probably won't see a Zune phone, Windows Mobile 7 is likely to sport an interface "very similar" to the Zune HD interface, and will feature a UI, codenamed METRO that has been described as "very clean, "soulful" and "alive."
Not so good news perhaps is that the OS does not appear to support multitasking, which means applications will be paused in the background. There is no sign of Flash support, or NETCF backwards compatibility with older applications, however there are "high hopes" of adding the latter to WinMo 7 eventually.
There looks like there will be room for Xbox integration with the ability to purchase games, Zune integration and a try before you buy setup in Marketplace.
While there is likely to be plenty of chat about WinMo 7 at MWC 2010, chances of any hardware wieding the OS looks slim. PPC Geeks believes that Microsoft will instead have its first Windows Mobile 7 handset ready for September this year.
