Windows Mobile 7 is due to arrive this year but excellently named Russian Windows Mobile obsessive Eldar Murtazin has apparently got his hands on it already. Read on for a glimpse of Win Mob’s future…
We’ve seen Microsoft’s latest mobile OS update, Windows Mobile 6.5.3, on video but it seems it’s already showing off an early build of its next big leap.
Murtazin reports that Windows Mobile 7’s UI is similar to but “more complicated” than the ZuneHD’s, putting those Zune mobile plans front and centre. The look of Windows Mobile 7 is apparently heavily inspired by Google Android and the iPhone (no surprises there really).
Murtazin reported that version of Windows Mobile 7 he got a glimpse of was a very early build but predicts that it will be show, perhaps in closed meetings, at Mobile World Congress in February.
Strangely, Windows Mobile 7 seems to be incompatible with Windows Mobile 6 apps. Murtazin reports that the handset he used would not run any Windows Mobile 6 apps and that the OS was “built from scratch”.
Electricpig will be out in force at Mobile World Congress to hunt down the latest scoop on Windows Mobile’s next move.
