Windows Mobile 7 Delayed Until “Late Next Year”


Ah, Windows Mobile 7. It was first rumored to be released in February 2010. According to Phil Moore, Microsoft UK head of mobility, Windows Mobile 7 might not be coming until Q4 2010. Recently, in a Q&A session at the ‘Connect!’ technology summit in London, Moore [pictured] stated:

“[Windows Mobile 7] has been put back until late next year but it is definitely coming. You’re going to see a lot more on Windows Mobile 7. Giving the enterprise users and consumers what they want will be part of Windows Mobile 7. You’ll get flexibility on a much easier touch UI.”

No details were disclosed as to what has caused the delay. Moore did mention that Apple has left them “playing catch-up” with the iPhone. Also not very clear at this moment is how this move will affect Windows Mobile, considering many that were looking forward to the new mobile OS by Microsoft will not want to wait until the end of 2010. Only time will tell.
