More Windows Mobile 7 rumors flying around lately. This time from Bloomberg who supposedly heard from a tipster that Microsoft is set to announce and demo WM7 during MWC next month:

Microsoft Corp. plans to unveil its new mobile-phone operating system next month, a bid to reverse market share losses to Google Inc. and Apple Inc., according to a person familiar with the matter.

The company may use the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona to demonstrate the new software, called Windows Mobile 7, said the person, who didn’t want to be identified because the plans are confidential. The decision isn’t final, the person said.

Frankly Bloomberg could have made this story up basing it on all the latest rumors/hints we’ve heard these past weeks.
