A lot of this as well seems to be akin to the touch desks that Microsoft had been working on for some time as well.
A good bit of it is copying, and I say good on them. You take what the other people do good, you put it into your things, and you try to make it better. I like some of the motion type things that are rumored there...remind me of a Wii to be honest. And its something that is taking the iphone interface and going further.

My hope is they keep the today screen of the PocketPC, as I love having text information there. It would be nice to have that as a main page, while swiping then brings up different program windows.

Great points. I hope our devices will be able to be updated,but I doubt it. I think we will get some of things talked about in WM7 with WM6.1. But who knows.
