ya'll forgetting about world mobile congress? Balmber himself stated this is for a later date and it will all discuss zune hd, wm7, tv on devices (shown with HD2 during CES keynote) for the wmc. Microsoft is merely choosing their battles because they are a huge corporation and have other more specific markets to worry about in CES while another trade show is dedicated to the wm7

that's my $0.02 folks

I agree with you that those things will be discussed further next month. Usually things announced at the ces are those that will be released that year. This is why I feel that microsoft has really delayed until next year. Just was trying to hold out hope.

Yes it's considered news. It's tied to the consumer electronics show. That is why there's a link to microsoft's part of the show. Things that aren't spoke of or done are just as important as those that are. Anything that informs the reader/viewer is news. On top of that if you don't like the thread why are you reading and commenting? I hate when people complain about why are certain threads in existence yet they participate in them.

I read the thread because I was under the assumption there was actual "factual" news tied to the thread and not the ramblings of a disgruntled WM owner.

The fact is Windows Mobile is not dead and you saying anything else is purely conjectural. Feel free to speak your mind, we'll listen, but post those opinions in the correct area.

The reason is obvious: MS themselves said not to expect WM7 until late 2010/early 2011.

This will inevitably get pushed back AGAIN. Thus, CES 2011 is a more appropriate venue for them to preview the OS.

In the meantime, the diehards will continue to hang on to WM, insisting its the best.

"I love WM, all I have to so is solder in a new chip, reporgram it with a custom ROM, rip the guts out, add a new processor, skin it, and order a new housing and it does EXACTLY what I want. Its so customizable".

I'm sure if you look hard enough, you can find someone that prefers DOS to Windows 7. "All I do is type in this "dir" thingy,. and look at all that text. Seriously, you just can't get that sharp of a text with newer models..."

Honestly its dead regardless of when winmo 7 comes out. winmo is already so far behind and it amazes me being that they had practically a 5 year head start on the other smart phones out now. Hell by the time winmo 7 drops we'll have android phones out of the ass. Take away manila or the fact that a lot of people use mobile shell to cover up winmos crappy interface and you see winmo for what it really is...

I'll give them until World Mobile Congress to give a little more detail about Windowa Mobile 7 before I'll write them off.

The article doesn't have any inference on the future success or failure of wm7 or ever wm in general.

This is just another rehash thread on why you like or don't like winmo, guess the other 5000 didn't satisfy.

WM is not inferior to the other OS out there, WM is different from them. First there was the iphone, then the others, android, web os tried to be just like them and they are decent OS's and good for many reasons, but they are entertainment oriented. WM is not centered around that, they are a business based device, not some phone that they are expecting you to put a thousand apps on.
