When Microsoft announced their Windows Phone 7 series line earlier this month, it became apparent that they were going to be heavily involved in the hardware side of things this time around. After what was revealed today, there should be no doubt that this is the case.
Anyway, today, a picture surfaced purportedly showing Microsoft`s new operating system running on an HTC HD2. It`s obviously an early build of the operating system but what we can see here, it looks pretty gorgeous. That is, if this isn`t completely fake.
No real surprise about the news coming out the Mobile World Congress today in Barcelona as Microsoft, as expected, has unveiled its new mobile platform, the Windows Phone 7 series. From the looks of things, it`s entirely new, different, and gasp, a step in the right direction perhaps?
Today confirms exactly what everyone has known for a couple of weeks now; Microsoft is going to debut their upcoming mobile operating system at the Mobile World Conference in Spain on Monday. The good news is that it apparently is getting a UI overhaul. The bad news?
Microsoft apparently has an interest in bringing Office to the iPad at some point in the future. You can bet that they are waiting to see whether the product is a success before committing to anything at all, so assuming anything other than their obvious interest is a little premature.
Not surprisingly, some of the Apple`s biggest competitors chimed in with their thoughts about the debut of the iPad.
HTC has announced that they have upgraded the United States version of the HD2 before it`s released on T-Mobile.
Microsoft has some catching up to do in the mobile operating system department and a WinMo 7 debut in February could set them on the right track.
The UI of Microsoft`s Courier was leaked today and frankly it looks nothing short of amazing. It also has upped the ante for the unseen and rumored Apple Tablet.
The Archos 9 finally has a release date, it looks good, it`s fairly affordable and it has Windows 7. Could that be a recipe for success? Hard to say.
