I'm all for new things. But honestly... WHAT!?

There was no real analysis done in that post and it is severely lacking some other information.
As I mentioned in another post,
code referencing WM7 has been found in HTC's own builds of Sesne 2.5.
That right there is much more "proof" than what has been passed off today. Now, one
could argue that the above Sense/WM7 info was wrong, erroneous, out of context, out-dated, etc.
Fair enough.
But you can't just
ignore this information, which basically refutes the post/tip. It certainly raises some flags, one would think.
Furthermore, it begs all sorts of questions like:
- Do Enterprise customers care about Zune/XBox integration?
- How does this relate to Project Pink/Zune phone?
- Project Rouge?
- How does this fit into the Business/Media edition rumors?
- Why would a company like HTC just give up all brand identity after years of financial investment?
- Are OEMs really going to be all relegated to just a generic phone maker with no brand ID? What is their incentive?
- This goes against the iPhone model (no OEMs); goes against the Android model (many OEMs, customization). So where does this fit in?
- How does this fit in with the bigger picture of what we know?
Simply
ignoring all the above and acting like this is the only avenue for Seven is just bad reporting and spreading FUD. Context, history and relation to other information is pertinent for understanding the whole situation.
Certainly some of what has been posted is plausible. But it's also pretty evident that what this might be is Project Pink/Zune phone/WM7 Media Edition, not necessarily the stripped down 7.
When you see numerous rumors coming from various sites, contradicting each other, you have to ask
(1) FUD or
(2) Different OS/services/version? Frankly,
MobileTechWorld, who received the same tip, presented more pertinent information and added much needed skepticism.
Fact is, very few
know the big picture.
