At the InsideMicrosoft blog is a long article about the touch and motion gestures that will be part of Windows Mobile 7 (WM7)--the next version of Microsoft's mobile OS for smart phones, handhelds and PDAs. In it, he has many screenshots detailing how multi-touch and physical motions applied on a device will affect what's seen on the screen.
Before iPhone fans start the "copycat" accusations, the source of the images and information are supposed to be from an internal Microsoft document, and the screenshots seen there may not be in the final product. In one of the images, the onscreen keypad has a text bubble which magnifies the letter being touched--just like on the iPhone. But right beside it, a screenshot showing the desktop version of Word is superimposed on the handheld's display. This just goes to show that some of these images have been created to illustrate concepts and ideas. We certainly hope the end-product will look significantly different from Apple's.

You may not remember this because the news came out during CES, but back in January there was a gigantic leak of Windows Mobile 7 details, including an Alaskan Senator's dump truck full of images. Brandon from Pocket Now recently got to SEE Windows Mobile 7 at a Microsoft MVP event, and while he thinks it's a fantastic OS, he's got a huge problem with the release date. Based on what he heard at Microsoft, the target release date seems to be mid to late 2009. He's got no problem with the technology in WM7—he says it basically addresses everything wrong with WM6 today—but the fact that it's not going to be released until a year and a half from now is troublesome. How can Microsoft compete when the iPhone will already been out for two and a half years, and iPhone clones have been out for more than one? It's tough.
And it's not like Microsoft can do anything about it. After they finish the OS, they have to send it out to OEMs and carriers and third-party companies in order to test and embed and develop on it. That's the problem with creating only an OS, instead of making an all-in-one OS and hardware product. But that's where Brandon thinks Microsoft has bomb to drop.
There's a possibility that Microsoft will take the recently acquired Danger (the makers of the T-Mobile Sidekick) and put them to work on hardware made expressly for Windows Mobile 7. Just think about how well Apple's done by integrating software onto hardware they built themselves. The same could be true with Microsoft. [PocketNow - Image Credit]
