23 Sep 08 Windows Mobile 7 Delayed to Mid 2009
The mobile space now has a couple of major players, what with Apple and Google entering the fray with their respective platforms. Microsoft may be losing relevance in the market, and the greatly delayed release of Windows Mobile 7 isn’t helping things either.
CNET reports that the company has informed some of its partners that it has had to delay the mobile operating system to the second half of next year. It was previously expected early next year.
The current version – WinMo 6.1 – has become so outdated that companies like HTC and Sony Ericsson are having to patch things up to release devices powered by it.
WinMo7 is said to be a dramatic improvement over the current version, featuring advanced gesture recognition, among other things.
