Windows Mobile 7

Now we know many have been talking about 6.5 recently and in fact, while I just finished updating on my latest post regarding 6.5, I'm already being amazed by something more that will be coming up with Windows Mobile 7.

We know that we want our mobile phone to be user friendly...that we could be using it for multi-purpose, any time any where....that sort of functionality seems to make life easier. While 6.5 might barely able to do that, Microsoft is rumoured to be adding some new features to the upcoming Windows Mobile 7 operating system as part of their mission to make the OS the most user friendly yet. We have just learned that the new platform will include Xbox Live – something that there has previously been a lot of speculation about, but has now been officially confirmed thanks to two job postings by the company.
One of these ads read as follows: “We are seeking a technically savvy Developer Account Manager to own and drive the relationship with our top mobile entertainment development partners. You will work closely with our Business Account Management teams, Engineering support teams, Windows Mobile and Xbox LIVE platform teams as the advocate for your partners to drive solutions to their development needs. You can be a key part of making gaming on Windows Mobile a continued success!


You will help raise the bar of gaming on Windows Mobile, and help drive adoption of our unique platform features in our partner’s games.” – Short of Microsoft issuing a press release stating the fact that this is happening, it really doesn’t get any more official than this.
We don’t actually know right now exactly what Xbox Live and the Windows Mobile 7 operating system will share, but it is likely to be pretty impressive. Microsoft is becoming more and more aggressive in their attempts to make Windows Mobile 7 perfect, which is understandable considering the “Meh” reaction that the recent release of Windows Mobile 6.5 was met by.
If they continue their devotion to making the platform truly spectacular we’re sure they can achieve success with it; and actually win over some new customers, something version 6.5 did not do well at.


Now if you think 6.5 has missed the mark, then what about windows mobile 7?
I bet we wouldn't be seeing anything with XboX for iPhone or Android?

So, why am I stating my case strongly for Microsoft...not because I'm a fan of the company, or neither do they pay me a single cent but let us know that this corporate giant has what it takes to create a NEW GENERATION of mobile phone...bringing MOBILITY into the next stage...the WindowsPhone is the future phone...that would be my verdict.
