Windows Mobile 7 Features
The Mobile World Congress will be held in Barcelona this year and just in a few days more: February the 15th. And it is almost confirmed that Windows Mobile 7 will be presented to the community, taking a good overview of the incoming features.
For the rumors that leaked already, seems that it will have important enhancements (regarding with interoperability mostly) and some other similarities with other mobile OS. Let’s take a quick look:
- The UI will be quite similar that we’ve seen in Zune HD, with a few changes to be confirmed.
- Full Zune and XBOX integration.
- Full support with Facebook and other social networking mobile apps.
- Windows Mobile Device Center: No more. All of the sync options will be replaced by Zune software.
- No multi-task support. Here comes the first similarity with iPhone OS; the applications will be paused while working in background.
- No Flash support. Hmmm… seems that I’ve seen this before.
- Applications will not be available to install by a separate storage. The only possibility to install applications will be using the “MarketPlace”. No, no “AppStore”, the name is “MarketPlace”.
- MarketPlace will have a very cool option: “Try before you buy”.
- There will be no support for OEM Interfaces. That means Sense UI, SPB Mobile Shell, Point UI, Infinity, and many others will not be allowed.
- Release date: September 2010.
