With Android’s fast developement pace, the upcoming iPhone, Maemo etc One has to wonder how Microsoft’s Windows Mobile Team can sleep at night especially when you have Phil Moore, Microsoft UK Head of Mobility saying:
“We’re still playing catch-up. When Apple came on to the scene a couple of years ago, it threw away the rulebook and reinvented it. We unfortunately don’t have that luxury. It’s true, Apple caught us all napping. It launched something that was very iconic, new and unseen with a very good user interface.”
He suggested Windows Mobile 7 will redress the balance. “It 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.”
Ok, I admit there’s nothing really new in there. Windows Mobile 7 has always been on track to come out one year later than Windows Mobile 6.5. But still you got to wonder why they don’t hurry up. Or show some of the upcoming feature to build some hype. The only good news is that we can expect to hear about WM7 during MIX2010 in March (which means that an official announcement should come before this).
