NDA dosent stop Windows Mobile 7 impressions being leaked

Windows Mobile 7 ( WM7 ) Screenshots

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. “

Ray Ozzie: all good apps on iPhone will be ported to Windows Mobile

. Saijo — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:34:51 +0000

Ray ozzie on Apps

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.
