IT Pro got some quotes from Microsoft’s business marketing manager, James McCarthy, talking a bit about Windows Mobile 7 and confirming that there are indeed different chassis being worked on with OEMs:
“Steve Ballmer has mentioned publicly that Windows Mobile 7 is slated for release in 2010 and we’re always working with our key OEM and operator partners on future products, although we have nothing formal to announce for now.”
“In the future, we are looking to deepen our development work with a handful of key OEMs at the hardware design phase, with much more carefully defined hardware specifications to match software requirements, which in turn will deliver even more powerful mobile experiences for our customers.”
“This has led to this chassis’ concept that is familiar to the work Microsoft does with hardware partners in the PC industry to create high quality products.”
Well if they could hurry up a little bit…
