LG says Windows Mobile 7 is coming this year

Check it: LG just mentioned that Windows Mobile 7 will be in handsets this year. This would be the most official recent affirmation we've seen from any top-tier company of the 2010 date -- but no, they're not showing any hardware running it here, so it remains more of a magical, world peace-creating concept than an actual product. The wait, it seems, continues -- but at least we're feeling a little better about setting the countdown clock.

Someone's getting fired. D:

Yay, the quicker Engadget will be able to bash it.

Can't wait.

Well that's a given.

The tech blogs WILL bash whatever they do. MS just needs to learn to go directly to the people and not let tech blogs filter their products through their biased lens.

Windows 7 Mobile is the Duke Nuke 'em of 2010.

It was rumored about a month ago that HTC may be doing this.

How is this "breaking" news???

[sonicyoof Posted Jan 6th 2010 6:28PM]

@TareG

Because it's confirmation of an OS release from Microsoft. A really important one. Do you need more explanation?

[TareG Posted Jan 6th 2010 6:30PM]

@sonicyoof
uh... No, no smartass, it's from LG not Microsoft.

[sonicyoof Posted Jan 6th 2010 6:39PM]

@TareG

Uhh, the operating system is from Microsoft. Not LG.

[TareG Posted Jan 6th 2010 6:45PM]

@sonicyoof
Really? Microsoft does WM? /end sarcasm.

The "confirmation" is from LG, not from MS. Also, it's NOT a confirmation per se. Also, stop wasting my time.

This means Winmo 7 at the end of 2010, just what everybody expected, not news.

@fperennes

Oh no!!! A functional interface that you would use, like, once, and it doesn't look shiny! I could never bring myself to look at that on that once occasion when I set that setting!

WinMO7 'll kick ASS !!
Seriously,WinMo actually the best SmartPhone OS right now, maybe not the prettiest, but it get the job done , and no Stupid limitation! like "you cant install on sd card bullshit" you find on Android. No need hack the OS to do multitask like iPhone. etc etc.
