Windows Mobile 7 will get with Zune HD?


Many expected Microsoft to launch a new version of Windows Mobile, version 7 in particular, in the Mobile World Congress, which will begin on February 15. But if the rumors will be confirmed, Windows Mobile 7 will mean the end of all WM applications so far, at least in the form that I knew.

In fact, it appears that there will be any customizable. WinMo 7 will not run code 6.x. Period. It is based on Silverlight and. Net. Except for some basic programs, nothing else will run under WinMo 7, so it will be for devices of type “business”. Accenstul will be on games, including Xbox Live features for gaming and messaging. And there will be a Microsoft App store with an approval process easy.

Reaction remains to be seen developers who seem to be quite nervous, because transition to the new system could bring huge changes in the WinMo ecosystem. I, for one, during the Zune’s HD test I thought not once like to have and telephone. Somebody up there …
