It looks like Microsoft isn’t too happy about all the “MWC Windows Mobile 7 announcement” rumors popping up all over the net lately and would like to lower peoples exceptions. A Microsoft spokesperson contacted BetaNews today to ask them to reiterate that, while they were given an overview of the direction of Windows Mobile, Microsoft Senior Marketing Manager Greg Sullivan wasn’t talking about Windows Mobile 7. Everybody should keep in mind that Steve Ballmer never mention WM7 during his CES Keynote, neither did Robbie Bach during the Financial Analysts webcast. Don’t be surprised if the only product announcement during MWC is Windows Mobile 6.6 (or WM6.5.3 whatever they want to call it) and a overview of where Microsoft is heading in the mobile market with some quick WM7 unveiling/teaser.. Yes it’s disappointing but Microsoft could leave the big announcement for their own event the next month (MIX2010) or setup a special Windows Phone event close to the launch to the next generation iPhone announcement (May/June). Anyway, it’s all speculation at this point so lets wait patiently and see how it unfolds.
