Only a few more days to go before the Mobile World Congress is held in Barcelona, Spain and we have a last minute detail round up for the soon to launch Windows Mobile version 7. So far, we are sure that the WinMo 6.5.3 Maldives will definitely be unveiled at the event; though we doubt that a readily usable version 7 will be on stage (WinMo 6.5.3 will be running on the recently announced Sony Ericsson Aspen Greenheart phone).
To date, here is a quick run through of all the rumors and reports about the upcoming WinMo platform.
First off, Windows Mobile 7 will come in two varieties; a business edition and a media edition. The business edition is rumored to be a match for the BlackBerry OS and Palm OS while the media edition will serve as a general commercial use version.
Considering that previous version of Windows Mobile have been heavily criticized for having badly designed user interfaces, this new version will be made for capacitive touch screens and will support multi touch features just like the Maldives. The UI will be Zune-based in terms of visual elements.
New features on the OS include support for Xbox Live, a new internet browser (with IE 8 features) and of course access to the Windows Mobile Marketplace –not really new, but app installation is now exclusive to downloaded content from the Marketplace.
Also in our list are things that WinMo 7 is not compatible with. The first are applications made for older versions of Windows Mobile. Flash will also not be supported by the platform as well as the use of custom skins (such as the HTC Sense user interface).
