It looks like the lucky guys who got invited to Mobius 2009 had a chance to see Windows Mobile 7 in action , though there are no official reports of this. Rumors are flying around that WM7 is ground breaking in terms of design and usability.

Twitter Message and a post via Solopalmari ( both the original twitter message and the blog post has been taken down , looks like Microsoft wants to play the WM7 cards close to their chest.

Translation of the Blog Post from Solopalmari ” Revolutionary, no need to take away: the next version of Windows Mobile, as shown by the leaks and the first screenshots of the new system, the Web will soon be spring, we are faced with an upheaval of the logic of interaction and not just a substantial revision of the interface. The concept of “applications”, as the programs continue to live their important identities, will bend to the principle of “user experience”.

Finally the performance, the fluidity in the display of screens, images and icons becomes a priority. As powerful and versatile Windows Mobile will be next, will never submit to slowdowns and delays in the response. How will, indeed, as they did to achieve this result is not yet technically clear. But developers say Microsoft is certain: the experience of use to forget the “old” Windows Mobile. “

Pocket now has put together a detailed HTC Leo / HTC HD2 review. They have a lot of images and video to please everyone. They have covered all major aspect of the device from the unboxing to camera quality.

Check out the Review : HD2 Review

At the PDC ( Microsoft’s Professional Developers Conference ) conference for developers, Ray Ozzie ( Microsoft’s chief software architect ) said, that smartphone apps will not be a differentiator among smartphones.

“All the apps that count will be ported to every one of them,” he said. It’s a completely different situation from the PC market, where software’s built to run on a Windows or a Mac, he said. Mobile apps require very little development, so it’s much easier to bring them onto every platform. So according to him all good apps on the appstore and android market is going to come to Windows Mobile.. What do you guys think ? I couldn’t help but laugh at this. When you look at the things in the past its true.. all the good apps on Windows were ported to Mac, Linux, etc….

There are many news site covering this issue with the title ” Microsoft says : Apps don’t make your phone special ” as usual this goes in line with the Windows Mobile hate campaign on the web. Microsoft is pushing the need for apps by getting a marketplace in place , a web version of the marketplace and tutorials on how to port apps from the iPhone. The only thing to see is will the developers of good apps on the iPhone / Android consider porting their apps to Windows Mobile.

Wired.com’s latest Windows Mobile title suggests a Windows Mobile Hate campaign ” How Microsoft Blew It With Windows Mobile “. If you go through the article they have gone through some of the flaws in the platform and what the future might hold for Windows mobile with WM7. The article is well worth the read if you are a windows mobile fan and the comments section are on fire with iphone and WM fanbois.

Some things they talk about

• the Gartner reports where the last quarter Windows Mobile’s market share plummeted to 7.9 percent.
• iPhone’s consumer centric device , appstore and apps
• Peter Hoddie, CEO of Kinoma thinks WM is a great platform and talks about iPhone, whose apps he described as “beautiful,” which encourages third-party developers to produce apps of similar quality.
• segmentation in the hardware ecosystem ( android is facing issues with apps in this department )
• Windows Mobile is still largely focused on enterprise features ( but new devices like the HD2 is trying to bridge the gap )

With the success streak from Microsoft of late.. bing, Windows 7, Zune HD, etc we have high hopes for WM7… What do you think ? lets us know in the comments …
