Whoa. LG just let slip that Windows Mobile 7 will be out this year, live at its CES 2010 press conference. Will we be seeing LG Windows Mobile 7 smartphones shortly?
At the LG prezzer here in Las Vegas, the South Korean giant just went on record to say Windows Mobile 7 will be out this year. That chimes in with recent words from a UK Microsoft exec that the long overdue next version of Windows Mobile would be arriving late this year.
Windows Mobile 7 delayed until late 2010
We suspect Microsoft will be making a few retrospective denials to give itself breathing space, but all we can say is, about time. Windows Mobile 6.5 is a joke compared to solid, easy to use operating systems like iPhone OS and Android, so it needs an overhaul to get back in the game ASAP. Here’s hoping we’ll be hearing more about Windows Mobile 7 straight from the horse’s mouth at Steve Ballmer’s CES keynote tonight.
