WM7 didn't show up!

[m@rtyn]

Instead, we have a new star in the OS sky...... Windows Phone 7 Series ! And it looks like nothing that had been expected or leaked over the last few months. As expected, it was launched today at MWC in Barcelona.



The best is, that you take a look at it for yourself. There are two videos available at Pocketnow.com

People, Pictures, Games, Music+Video, Marketplace and Office. The "People" hub delivers the social side of your life - social networks, photos and instant updates to Facebook, Windows Live and other sites. The "Pictures" hub lets you share pictures and video to your social network, whilst the "Games" tab delivers the first Xbox LIVE experience on your phone - Xbox games, Spotlight feed and gamer profile. The"Music and Video" hub brings online services plus content from your PC, the built-in FM radio and media recommendations from like-minded music fans. The "Marketplace" app takes you into the online application store with the "Office" hub bringing that familiar Microsoft Office experience and mobile applications like SharePoint, OneNote and Outlook.

There seems to be a lot of "Zune" involved in the look and feel of Windows Phone 7 Series, which has also been noted by those in the know. For those who haven't heard of the Zune, it is Microsofts answer to the iPod Touch, though sadly not aimed at the European market. However, that seems to now have been rectified by having Zune as the basis for the new OS. No doubt we will be seeing and hearing lots more over the next few days, so stay tuned!
